[Effect of sulodexide on hemorheological parameters in a group of patients with peripheral arteriosclerotic vascular disease].

Abstract

The aim of this study was the evaluation of some hemorheological and metabolic parameters in a group of patients affected by peripheral artery disease treated with sulodexide. A double-blind with cross-over treatment was used. The results demonstrate that sulodexide reduces blood viscosity and triglyceride levels. This action may have a role in order to modify clinical symptoms and evolution of atherosclerosis.
