[The diagnosis and reparative processes in a protracted course of myocardial infarct]

A study of 20 patients with protracted myocardial infarction and 142 patients with transmural myocardial infarction showing a routine course revealed that the clinico-biochemical equivalent of prolonged course of reparative processes in protracted myocardial infarction are up to 2 months registered values of chlorine-soluble mucoprotein, serum hexoses and hexose glycoaminoglycane fractions as well as late (on the 6-7 decade of the disease) oxyprolin peaks in biological substrates.
