Blood Plasma Viscosity (PV) is an established biomarker for numerous diseases. While PV colloquially refers to the shear viscosity, there is a second viscosity component--the bulk viscosity--that describes the irreversible fluid compressibility on short time scales. The bulk viscosity is acutely sensitive to solid-like suspensions, and obtainable via the longitudinal viscosity from acoustic attenuation measurements. Whether it has diagnostic value remains unexplored yet may be pertinent given th...
