Variations in blood viscoelasticity among normal individuals is very small. Thus, changes due to disease or surgical intervention can be readily identified, making blood viscoelasticity a useful clinical parameter. Variations in blood viscoelasticity are seen in such conditions as cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, sickle cell anemia, diabetes, stroke and other conditions.
