[Characteristics of immune complexes in myocardial infarct].

Nonspecific circulating immune complexes (CIC), different in size and stability, are detectable in the blood sera of patients with myocardial infarction; changed concentration of these complexes appears to be a reflection of the defense response of the body, aimed at homeostasis maintenance. No relationship between cardiac glycosides and CIC levels was revealed in patients with myocardial infarction. A reduction of the level of 'large' CICs by days 21-30 of the condition was observed in the patients treated with anticoagulants from the first day of the disease.
