[Determination of the effect of furanthril on myocardial infarct lesion size according to precordial electrocardiogram (mapping) and enzyme activity findings].

The ECG Mapping from 30 precordial points in 56 patients with recent anterior transmural infarctions was followed up as well as the level of the enzymes, acid phosphokinase, SGOT and LDH-iso during the first 6 days after the origination of the cardiac infarction. Thirty six patients were treated according to the generally adopted treatment schedule of cardiac infarction (group without furanthril) and 20 patients were administered, in addition to the generally adopted schedule, one tablet furanthril daily during the first six days (group with furanthril. Though no manifested discrepancies were observed in the indices studied in both groups (without and with furanthril)--in patients administered furanthril systematically--a better manifested drop was found in ECG Mapping indices and the enzyme activity in the course of the cardiac infarction, as compared with the group without furanthril.

[Clinical biochemical changes in ischemic heart disease: hyperuricemia as a risk factor].

One hundred and sixty patients with IHD were examined--73 males and 87 females, average age for males--58.58 +/- 12.69 and for females--59.

[Metabolic disorders in the acute stage of cardiac infarction].

The level of lactates and pyruvates in arterial blood of 35 patients with myocardial infarction without shock (17-without heart insufficiency and 18-with manifested but in various degrees) is higher as compared with the level of 18 healthy subject and the elevation is better manifested in the patients with cardiac insufficiency. The highest level of lactates and pyruvates is reached in the first 48 hours of the onset of the disease, after which they decrease progressively and in patients without cardiac insufficiency is normalized by the 5-6th day and in those with insufficiency-remains elevated. Slight to moderate correlation exists between the level of lactates and BE and PaCO2.
