title: [Changes in parameters of hemorheology and circulation 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TXB2 in dilated cardiomyopathy].
abstract: The changes in 12 parameters of hemorheology were observed and the levels of peripheral plasma 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) measured in 35 cases of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), including 6 peripartum cardiomyopathy (PCM). We found that there is of hyperviscosity in DCM, the causes were decrease of erythrocyte deformability, increase of red blood cell aggregation, increase of plasma fibrinogen and TXA2 level and decrease of plasma 6-keto-PGF1 alpha level.
