Since the founding discovery by William Harvey, who demonstrated blood circulation in De
motu cordis (Harvey and Leake 1928), blood and its circulation have received constant and …

This series presents reviews covering all aspects of haemodynamics and haemorheology.
Topics covered include the complexities of microcirculation, the rheology of blood and blood …

This publication primarily focuses on the macro-and micro-rheological behavior of blood and
its formed elements, on interactions between the formed elements and blood vessel walls …

Hemorheology is the science of deformation and flow of blood and its formed elements. This
field includes investigations of both macroscopic blood properties using rheometric …

Relations describing fluid flow in cylindrical tubes were formulated by Poiseuille
approximately 150 years ago, resulting in the well-known Poiseuille Equation. The …

The rheological properties of the blood and its components depend greatly on the flow
conditions. Because of the complexity of hemodynamic conditions and the rheological …

From a review of the literature of blood flow it is concluded that the physical properties of
blood from different animals are very similar and that its basic rheology is reasonably well …

In analyzing blood flows, one is generally interested in how the blood responds to forces
(eg, pressure gradients, shear stresses). The general fluid mechanical procedure used to …

In the past 250 years of hemodynamic research, the coefficient of blood viscosity has played
only a minor, hardly a supporting, role in physiological and pathophysiological research. At …

Arteriosclerosis and heart diseases represent the major cause of death in the western world.
The dramatic increase in the number of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients has …
