SummaryWe have previously shown abnormalities of haemostasis suggestive of intravascular coagulation in patients with malignant hypertension, a condition associated with retinopathy and renal fibrin deposition. To determine whether such abnormalities are specific to malignant hypertension, we have measured several haemostatic and haemorheological variables in 18 patients with malignant hypertension (Group 1), 18 matched healthy controls (Group 2), and 18 patients with non-malignant hypertension (Group 3) matched for renal pathology, blood pressure and serum creatinine with Group 1. Both Groups 1 and 3 had increased mean levels of fibrinogen, factor VIIIc, beta-thrombo- globulin, plasma viscosity and blood viscosity (corrected for haematocrit); and decreased mean levels of haematocrit, antithrombin III and platelet count. Mean levels of fast antiplasmin and alpha2-macroglobulin were elevated in Group 1 but not in Group 3. We conclude that most blood abnormalities are not specific to malignant hypertension; are also present in patients with non-malignant hypertension who have similar levels of blood pressure and renal damage; and might result from renal damage as well as promoting further renal damage by enhancing fibrin deposition. However increased levels of fibrinolytic inhibitors in malignant hypertension merit further investigation in relation to removal of renal fibrin.

To study the kinematic mechanics in exposure to heat and blood pressure among steelworkers. 403 heat-exposed male steelworkers and 102 non-heat-exposed male workers at the same workshop were studied. WBGT index, blood pressure were measured and hemorheology was detected. The results of this study show that blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, and hematocrit were positively correlated with systolic and diastolic blood pressure (P<0.05). Exposure to heat was a major risk factor for hypertension. Exposure to heat can elevate blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit and blood pressure. Therefore, workshops with high temperature must do their best to lower environment temperature in order to control blood pressure and promote occupational population health.

Coagulation And Fibrinolysis

SummaryPlasma viscosity, molecular markers of activated coagulation and fibrinolysis (fibrinopeptides A and Bβ15-42), coagulation factors (fibrinogen and factor VII) and antiplasmins were measured in 529 men aged 35-54 years and related to new angina pectoris (n = 117) and to coronary risk factors in controls without angina (n = 412). Five major risk factors (cigarette-smoking, blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride and body mass index) were each associated with increases in plasma viscosity, coagulation factors, and imbalance of coagulation over fibrinolysis (increased ratio of fibrinopeptide A/fibrinopeptide Bβ15-42). Increased viscosity and fibrinogen in smokers were partly reversed in exsmokers, but the imbalance of coagulation and fibrinolysis persisted. Cholesterol and triglyceride were also associated with increased antiplasmin activity. In men with angina, only fibrinogen was elevated compared to controls. We suggest that increased plasma viscosity and an imbalance of coagulation over fibrinolysis may be mechanisms by which known risk factors promote arterial thrombosis, but are not present in stable angina.

A study of 94 patienis at Sydney Hospital and at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital showed that a resolution and reliability of Theological (viscosity) methods is increased by a subraaxiraal exercise test (on a bike ergometer). Patients with more than 70% occlusion of the coronary arteries exhibit significant correlations between the maximum diastolic blood pressure ly, mmHg I and blood viscosity (x, cP) : y = 0.102x - 2.0 ± 1.57, r=0.608, and between the resting diastolic blood pressure and blood viscosity (at 180 rec. sec.) measured prior to the exercise test:y - 0.103x - 1.2 ± 1.02, r=0.797. Patients without severe coronary occlusion show a significant correlation only subsequent to the exercise test. All patients show a significant correlation between the square root of the sub-maximal exercise work (y, Kgm) and blood viscosity (x, cP):y = -11.29x + 154 ± 29, P < 0.05, and an even more significant correlation between the square root of the sub-maximal work and plasma viscosity: y = -180. 4x + 315 ± 28, P < 0.001. Furthermore, the viscosity of blood in the severe disease was significantly higher 16,45 ± 1.75 cP) than in ‘normals’ (5.44 ± 0.75 cP) or in highly fit men (4.94 ± 0.65 CP).
