Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation, a peer-reviewed international scientific journal, serves as an aid to understanding the flow properties of blood and the relationship to normal and abnormal physiology. The rapidly expanding science of hemorheology concerns blood, its components and the blood vessels with which blood interacts. It includes perihemorheology, i.e., the rheology of fluid and structures in the perivascular and interstitial spaces as well as the lymphatic system. The clinical aspects include pathogenesis, symptomatology and diagnostic methods, and the fields of prophylaxis and therapy in all branches of medicine and surgery, pharmacology and drug research.

The endeavour of the Editors-in-Chief and publishers of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation is to bring together contributions from those working in various fields related to blood flow all over the world. The editors of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation are from those countries in Europe, Asia, Australia and America where appreciable work in clinical hemorheology and microcirculation is being carried out. Each editor takes responsibility to decide on the acceptance of a manuscript. He is required to have the manuscript appraised by two referees and may be one of them himself. The executive editorial office, to which the manuscripts have been submitted, is responsible for rapid handling of the reviewing process.

Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation accepts original papers, brief communications, mini-reports and letters to the Editors-in-Chief. Review articles, providing general views and new insights into related subjects, are regularly invited by the Editors-in-Chief. Proceedings of international and national conferences on clinical hemorheology (in original form or as abstracts) complete the range of editorial features.

The following professionals and institutions will benefit most from subscribing to Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation: medical practitioners in all fields including hematology, cardiology, geriatrics, angiology, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, otology, and neurology. Pharmacologists, clinical laboratories, blood transfusion centres, manufacturing firms producing diagnostic instruments, and the pharmaceutical industry will also benefit.

Important new topics will increasingly claim more pages of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation: the role of hemorheological and microcirculatory disturbances for epidemiology and prognosis, in particular regarding cardiovascular disorders, as well as its significance in the field of geriatrics. Authors and readers are invited to contact the editors for specific information or to make suggestions.

Plasma viscosity and hemoglobin in the presence of cardiovascular risk factors

Authors: Ernst, E. | Koenig, W. | Matrai, A. | Keil, U.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: As part of a population survey for cardiovascular risk factors, plasma viscosity and hemoglobin were measured in 4022 individuals aged 25 – 64 years. The results show that there is no age- or sex-dependency of plasma viscosity in healthy participants; while hemoglobin shows the well known sex difference. In contrast, plasma viscosity increases with age in the total population. Plasma viscosity in women is elevated in hypercholesterolemia and in obesity. In men it is increased in hypercholesterolemia, untreated hypertension and in smoking participants. Hemoglobin is elevated in women who smoke and is not increased in the presence of any risk … Show more

Cardiovascular risk and haemorheology – Results from the Scottish Heart Health Study and the MONICA project, Glasgow

Authors: Lowe, G.D.O. | Smith, W.C.S. | Tunstall-Pedoe, H.D. | Crombie, I.K. | Lennie, S.E. | Anderson, J. | Barbenel, J.C.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, haematocrit and fibrinogen were measured in 1260 men and women aged 25–64 years in the West of Scotland and related to cardiovascular ar risk factors. Blood viscosity and haematocrit were higher in men than women; there was no sex difference in plasma viscosity or fibrinogen. In both sexes, blood viscosity increased with smoking, age, blood pressure, body mass index and serum total cholesterol. In general, these correlations were stronger for blood viscosity than for haematocrit, plasma viscosity or fibrinogen. The data are consistent with a role for blood viscosity in cardiovascular disease, and will be related … Show more

Menopause-related change in plasma viscosity

Authors: Bonithon-Kopp, C. | Scarabin, P.Y. | Malmejac, A. | Thao-Chan, M. | Chrétien, J.M. | Spriet, A. | Guize, L.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Menopause-related changes in hemorheological parameters were assessed in 129 healthy women aged 45–54 years undergoing a routine health examination. Menopausal status was confirmed by hormonal measurements. There were no significant differences in blood cell filterability, erythrocytes rigidity index and haematocrit between premenopausal and postmenopausal women. However, postmenopausal women had higher plasma viscosity than premenopausal women and the increase in plasma viscosity could not be explained by a weak but not significant rise in fibrinogen in postmenopausal women. These results suggest that menopausal changes in blood rheology are due to plasma viscosity rather than to blood cell filterability or red cell … Show more
