“…In the series of studies on patients with recent myocardial infarction, 17,18,19,20 fibrinogen concentrations correlated poorly with the viscosity of artificial thrombi, especially prior to division of patients into A and 0 blood-groups. The low correlation between fibrinogen and thrombus viscosity had its analogue in the low correlation between fibrinogen and aggregation of red cells, suggesting strongly that either the fibrinogen performance in infarction differs greatly versus its more sensible performance in normals, or that a protein other than fibrinogen plays an overwhelming rheological role.…”

The aim of this paper is to present an evidence that ABO blood-groups play a key role in the rheology of blood in cardiovascular diseases, that they might influence the pathways of aetiology of these diseases, especially in relation to the microcirculation, tissue perfusion and thrombus formation, and that there exists a possibility that ABO blood-group specific drugs might be more effective in counteracting a development and progress of these diseases than drugs which do not take any account of inherent differences between patients of different ABO blood groups.
