Why the study?
How do different methods of increasing red blood cell aggregation affect myocardial tissue hematocrit profiles in guinea pig hearts?
How do different methods of increasing red blood cell aggregation affect myocardial tissue hematocrit profiles in guinea pig hearts?
Myocardial hematocrit profiles are sensitive to both red blood cell aggregation and changes in plasma viscosity associated with increased aggregation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Guinea pig findings should not change practice; leaves open how RBC aggregation and plasma viscosity shape transmyocardial hematocrit in vivo.
Yalçın et al. (2005) studied this question.
