    Abstract:
    Patients with angina pectoris, functional classes III-IV, were examined for changes in the rheological blood properties (red blood cell aggregation ratio, fluidity limit, apparent viscosity, electrophoretic mobility of red blood cells, fibrinogen, total plasma protein and ADP, induced platelet aggregation) under the effect of continuous plasmapheresis (PA). PA was established to produce a selective effect on the rheological blood properties depending on the initial level of its disorders. The most remarkable clinical effect was produced by PA in patients with initially high characteristics of hemorheology. The first PA session ameliorated hemorheology at the expense of the plasma component, reduced high platelet aggregation whereas the repeated sessions largely affected red blood cell function.
