Implication
May inform hemodynamic assessment in AMI and hypertension; leaves open whether targeting viscosity alters outcomes.

Type
Observational
Structured PICO
P
Population
Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and essential hypertension (EH), as well as spontaneously hypertensive rats.
O
Outcome
Correlation of blood viscosity with in vivo hemodynamic functions (total peripheral resistance, arterial pressure, left ventricular mass)surrogate
Elevated blood viscosity plays a significant pathophysiological role in acute myocardial infarction and essential hypertension, correlating with hemodynamic changes.
Limitations
- Further interdisciplinary, longitudinal studies are needed to unravel the complicated pathophysiological changes in myocardial infarction and hypertension.

Shu Chien (1986) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction and essential hypertension. Elevated blood viscosity was evaluated. Elevated blood viscosity correlates with increased total peripheral resistance in acute myocardial infarction and arterial pressure in essential hypertension.
