Abstract:
Coincident pathological parameters were selected from 24 laboratory-diagnostic parameters of a second stage of diagnostics after x-rays screening concerning heart and vessel diseases tested by a check representative constellation in the shape of relative frequency was determined. For the parameters cholesterol, uric acid and glucose, belonging to the metabolic syndrome, it was possible to demonstrate relations to the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The transaminases ASAT and ALAT especially showed correlations of pathological values among one another. There were found out one-sided relations for instance concerning the proportion of transaminases, thymol turbidity test as well as creatinine to the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The connections as has been proved appeared in female cardiac patients in a more distinct way. The results, which were interpreted in the context of a further mathematic-statistical analysis, allow the conclusions for an efficient indicational application of clinical chemical research methods in chronic heart and vessel diseases in practice.
