Objective: To observe the effects of Weiluo Tongmai Capsule on hemorrheology.
Methods: Several items of hemorrheology were assayed, including specific viscosity of whole blood and plasma, erytlrocyte sedimentation rate, erythrocyte hematocrit, thrombosis in vitro in normal and blood stagnation rats.
Results: Weiluo Tongmai Capsule significantly lowered specific viscosity of whole blood, markedly inhibited dry weight and wet weight of thrombus in vitro, and tended to inhibit thrombus length and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in blood stagnation rats induced by adrenaline and ice water.
Conclusion: Weiluo Tongmai Capsule had the effects on improving items of hemorrheology and activation blood.
