Significantly increased low shear rate viscosity, blood elastic modulus, and RBC aggregation in adults following cardiac surgery

Abstract Open heart surgeries are common for treating ischemic and heart valve disease. During cardiac surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can temporarily take over the function of heart and lungs. However, elevated red blood cell (RBC) aggregation may lead to the common side-effects such as micro...
