Abstract:
By studying the blood viscosity from 313 healthy people, 90 patients with hypertension, 20 patients with cerebral vascular accident (CVA) and 9 patients with polycythemia Vera (PV). The authors found that: The blood viscosity of the health people is from 3.21-5.19. The blood viscosity of the patients with hypertension is from 3.38-5.82. There was no difference from the viscosity of the health people (p>0.01). The blood viscosity of the patients with CVA is from 4.43-7.13; and of the patients with PV is from 6.31-7.87; Both of them are significantly difference from the viscosity of the healthy people (p<0.05 and p<0.01 respectively).
