    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: The study was aimed to evaluate microvascular blood flow and theological blood properties in healthy volunteers (n = 27) and patients with cerebral accident (n = 30). To study cutaneous blood flow we used the multifunctional laser analyzer of blood microcirculation LAKK (LAZMA, Moscow) with spectrophotometric channel and wavelet analysis of blood flow oscillations. Viscosity of the whole blood, plasma, RBC aggregability and deformability were assessed. RESULTS: microcirculation index was by 25% (p < 0.05) lower in patients compared to the control group. Computing amplitude-frequency range of blood flow oscillations revealed notable changes in the blood flow regulation mechanisms under cerebrovascular accident: the amplitudes of all active rhythms (endothelial, neurogenic and myogenic ones) were increased. In spite of such activization of regulatory mechanisms, aimed to keep essential blood supply to tissue, index of specific oxygen consumption by tissue was decreased by 21% (p < 0.05) under cerebrovascular disorders. Blood rheological properties in patients group were impaired compared to the healthy group: blood viscosity was increased because of elevated plasma viscosity, increased RBS aggreagation and decreased erythrocyte deformability. Thus, our results demonstrated the decrease of tissue perfusion, activization of vasodilating mechanisms, impaired blood rheology and the decrease of oxygen supply to tissue in patients with cerebrovascular accident. Statistical analysis revealed a number of significant correlations between the hemorheological parameters and passive rhythms of microcirculation in norm. In patients blood viscosity correlated to the amplitude of active regulatory rhythms (endothelial, neurogenic and myogenic oscillations). Close interralations between rheological and microcirculation parameters testified the important role of hemorheological factors in maintenance of microvascular blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissue.
