  • Systems and methods for reducing the viscosity of blood, suppressing turbulence in blood circulation, and curing Rouleaux
    Patent number: 11406840
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing blood viscosity along a flow direction, suppressing turbulence in blood flow, and treating rouleaux are disclosed. One method includes applying a unidirectional magnetic field to a flow of blood in a direction parallel or antiparallel to a direction of the flow of blood, and maintaining the application of the unidirectional magnetic field to the flow of blood until a blood viscosity along the direction of the flow of blood is reduced and/or the turbulence in the blood flow is suppressed. One system includes an annular magnet sized to encircle a portion of a patient's body. The magnet is adapted to generate a unidirectional magnetic field in a region within the annular magnet. The unidirectional magnetic field has a strength sufficient to reduce the blood viscosity in the portion of the patient's body and/or suppress turbulence in the blood flow by a predetermined amount. The system will also break rouleaux for patients with rouleaux, but the process will take more time.
