The analysis of the rheographic parameter revealed that in patients with vera polycythemia there is an obvious venous stasis as well as important vasomotor tonus modifications induced by an affected blood viscosity. In patients with Cooley's anaemia, modifications in the cerebral irrigation are dominated by chronic anaemia; the latter causes chronic hypoxia of the whole body and a reduced cerebral irrigation due to a depressed cardiac volume and vasomotor tonus to the effect of hypothermia--explained through cerebral vascular self-regulation mechanisms.
