Ka. Kurdanov et al., FUNCTIONAL AND METABOLIC-ACTIVITY OF LEUK OCYTES IN MYOCARDIAL-INFARCTION PATIENTS, Terapevticeskij arhiv, 67(12), 1995, pp. 11-13
79 myocardial infarction (MI) patients exhibited enhanced activity of
myeloperoxidase and high levels of cation protein in leukocytes. These
indices rose to maximal and recovered on the disease days 5-7 and 30-
40, respectively. Intracellular components of leukocytes in acute MI p
atients changed in accordance with the stage and severity of the patho
logical process. This provides additional information on MI prognosis
and aftercare efficiency.
