title: On the interrelationships between erythrocyte aggregation, plasma viscosity and the total peripheral resistance in arterial hypertension.
abstract: A probable conjunction of hemodynamic- and rheological variables was tested in hypertensive patients. Most pronounced correlation was fixed for some indices (sizable in value for plasma viscosity and small but distinct for blood pressure and ZSR) vs. total peripheral resistance. These results of a small scale elaboration are encouraging to get up a study extension.
