Hemorheology and Ischemia

  • Conference paper
Brain and Heart Infarct II

Abstract

Hemorheology is that branch of the science of biorheology that deals with the flow properties of blood and the deformation of structures of the vessel wall with which blood or its constituents come into direct contact. Ischemia has been defined as a local anemia in a part of the body due to either sudden or gradual cutting-off or obstruction of the arterial blood supply to the affected area. The usual causes for sudden obstruction in pathologic conditions are long known to be blockage by thrombi and/or emboli, observed particularly in the heart, brain, spleen, mesentery, and kidneys. Gradual obstruction, occurring in the myocardium, brain, and kidneys, is usually due to atherosclerosis with thickening of the intima leading to narrowing of the vascular lumen. Ischemia can also be due to prolonged arterial spasm or to perivascular obstruction, e.g., by a growing tumor. In general, ischemia is due to a reduction in tissue blood flow below tissue needs.
