- W4232042542 abstract "Background It is known that blood and plasma viscosities are associated with clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis, though evidence is not conclusive particularly in women. Objective To verify whether hematocrit and blood and plasma viscosities are independently associated with carotid atherosclerosis and whether their measurement can improve the definition of the global coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. Method Eight hundred and ninety-two participants in a cardiovascular disease prevention campaign were examined with regard to conventional CHD risk factors (age, blood pressure, lipids, glucose, body mass index, waist/hip ratio, cigarette smoking and diabetes), hematocrit and blood and plasma viscosities. According to the degree of carotid atherosclerosis, investigated by echo-Doppler, participants were divided in three groups: those without atherosclerosis, those with a low degree of atherosclerosis and those with a high degree of atherosclerosis. Results In men, age, blood pressure, intima-media thickness (IMT), hematocrit (47.4± 3.7%, 47.8± 3.7%, 48.4 ± 3.7%,P< 0.05) and blood viscosity (4.69± 0.51 cP, 4.77± 0.55 cP, 4.82 ±0.51 cP,P= 0.05) increased with increasing degree of carotid atherosclerosis. In women, age, blood pressure, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein- cholesterol, IMT and plasma viscosity (1.42 ± 0.12 cP, 1.44± 0.11 cP, 1.46± 0.13 cP,P< 0.05) increased with increasing carotid score. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that after adjusting for hematocrit, blood viscosity was no longer different in the three groups. In discriminant analysis, hematocrit, among the hemorheological variables investigated, was independently associated with carotid score in men (F= 3.66,P< 0.05). Neither hematocrit nor blood and plasma viscosities were significantly associated with carotid score in women. Conclusion These findings suggest that in men, both hematocrit and blood viscosity are related to carotid atherosclerosis but hematocrit would appear to have an independent effect over and above that mediated by viscosity.Coron Artery Dis14:279-284 © 2003 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins." @default.
