Rheological influences on thrombosis

Baillieres Best Pract Res Clin Haematol. 1999 Sep;12(3):435-49. doi: 10.1053/beha.1999.0035.

Abstract

Blood flow plays important roles in the localization and morphology of thrombosis within the circulation. Blood flow properties (rheological variables) are associated with thrombotic risk factors and thrombotic risk; conversely their modification may reduce thrombotic risk.
