In a model of the high blood viscosity syndrome, developed after myocardial infarction in rats, it was observed that a therapy of a combination of diquertin (20 mg/kg) and ascorbic acid (50 mg/kg) for a period of 6 days, resulted in an improvement of haemorheological indices. The decrease in blood viscosity was primarily due to an improved deformability of erythrocytes, and to some extent, due to a decrease in the content of plasma fibrinogen and erythrocyte aggregation.
