title: [Observation of cardiac function, hemorheology and lingual microcirculation of leukemic patients].
abstract: The cardiac function, hemorheology and the lingual microcirculation of the 62 leukemic patients were investigated. The results showed that their left cardiac function was markedly damaged, and the blood specific viscosity and hematocrit lowered, the time of RBC electrophoresis extended, the ESR and the K value of ESR equation was increased, which suggested the blood agglutination was enhanced. The lingual microcirculation obviously displayed reducing the number of papilla fungiformis, of intrapapillar plexus of microvessel as well as vessel loops, it also revealed the increasing of the abnormal form of microvessel and of the dilating vessel loops. The colour of the blood flow showed pink and dark red, the condition around vessel loops showed exudation and bleeding in several cases.
