Why the study?

Does altering blood viscosity affect flow-induced dilator response in conduit arteries?

Population

Anaesthetised cats (femoral artery model)

Comparison

Haemodilution and haemoconcentration vs Normal blood viscosity

Design

Preclinical

Authors

AMArthur M. MelkumyantsMoscow Institute of Physics and Technology SBSergey A. BalashovInstitute of Experimental Cardiology

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Viscosity may modulate endothelial shear responses in conduit arteries; leaves open translation to human haemorheology.

Structured PICO

Does altering blood viscosity affect flow-induced dilator response in conduit arteries?

Population

Anaesthetised cats (femoral artery model)

Intervention

Haemodilution and haemoconcentration (altering blood viscosity)

Comparator

Normal blood viscosity

Outcome

Changes in diameter of the femoral artery evoked by stepwise blood flow increasessurrogate

Blood viscosity directly modulates flow-induced arterial dilatation, supporting the role of endothelial shear stress sensitivity.
