Increased Whole Blood Viscosity Is Associated with the Presence of Digital Ulcers in Systemic Sclerosis: Results from a Cross-Sectional Pilot Study
Figure 1
Whole blood viscosity compared between patients (red) and controls (blue). WBV was significantly higher in the Systemic sclerosis group compared to healthy controls (). This difference was most pronounced at shear rates between 1 and 10āsā1; however, shear rates were significantly different at all rates.
