本研究介绍了6例长期使用Novacor左心室辅助装置（LVAD）作为心脏移植桥的患者的血液流变学特征（85-144天）。结果表明，一定的“基线”流变学可以确定在患者的支持是平淡无奇的。然而，在支持期间发生一次或多次神经系统事件的患者中，这些事件与血液流变学改变有关，包括血浆和相对血液粘度增加以及红细胞刚性。
This study presents characteristics of hemorheology for six patients during long-term support (85-144 days) on a Novacor left ventricular assist device (LVAD) as a bridge-to-cardiac transplantation. Results indicate that a certain "baseline" rheology can be identified in patients whose support was uneventful. However, in the patients who had one or more neurologic episodes during support, these events were associated with altered hemorheology, including increases in plasma and relative blood viscosity, and red cell rigidity.
