[Cytochemical parameters of lymphocytes in non-coronarogenic myocardial diseases]

Blood lymphocyte redox enzymes were examined in 102 patients with infectious allergic myocarditis and vegetative dyshormonal +myocardial dystrophy. Dehydrogenase activity was found shifted and cellular energy balance disordered, these factors being valuable for differential diagnosis. Estimation of the lymphocytic energy plastic coefficient permits a dynamic monitoring of patient's status and helps predict the outcome of rehabilitation process. The detected metabolic shifts prompted inclusion of ++pyridoxal phosphate, a new coenzymic drug, in complex of treatment of this patient population.
