Abstract:
Serum ceruloplasmin levels were estimated in 81 patients within one week after an attack of acute myocardial infarction. A total of 126 healthy subjects were taken as controls and investigated for this copper containing protein. Results showed that there is an elevation in the levels of serum ceruloplasmin in patients as compared to the controls. Ceruloplasmin levels showed a return to almost normal values in 54 follow-up cases of acute myocardial infarction during the fourth week after infarction.
