Evaluation of Whole Blood Viscosity in Patients with Non-ST Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome

Objective: In our study we aimed to evaluate the relationship between whole blood viscosity (WBV) and the complexity and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), in patients diagnosed with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).Material and Methods: Two hundred and five patients who were admitted with the diagnosis of NSTE-ACS between 01.01.2018-30.06.2019 and who underwent coronary angiography were analyzed retrospectively.WBV was calculated for both low shear rate (LSR at 0.5/s) and high shear rate (HSR at 208/s) through formulas using hematocrit (%) and total plasma protein concentration (g/L).The study population was divided into two groups according to SYNTAX as low (<23), moderate and high risk group (23).Moreover the study population divided into two groups according to Gensini score median values as <30 and 30. zAma: almamzda ST segment ykselmesiz akut koroner sendrom (NSTE-AKS) tanl hastalarda tam kan viskozitesi (TKV) ile koroner arter hastalnn (KAH) yaygnl ve ciddiyeti arasndaki ilikiyi deerlendirmeyi amaladk.Yntem ve Gereler: 01.01.2018-30.06.2019 tarihleri arasnda NSTE-AKS tans ile bavuran ve koroner anjiyografi uygulanan 205 hasta retrospektif olarak analiz edildi.TKV; hematokrit (%) ve toplam plazma protein konsantrasyonunu (g/L) kullanan formller araclyla hem dk kesme hz (DKH) (0,5/s) (TKV_DKH) hem de yksek kesme hz (YKH) (208/s) (TKV_YKH) iin hesapland.alma poplasyonu SYNTAX skoru dk (<23) ve orta/yksek (23) olmak zere iki gruba ve Gensini skoru (GS) medyan deere gre <30 ve 30 olarak iki gruba ayrlarak analiz edilmitir.
