Immunological changes in the organism of patients with myocardial infarction
The study included 261 patients with myocardial infarction in whom heart antibody titre, the index of leucocyte migration and the indicator of their agglomeration with antigen from the infarction and perinfarction region were investigated. Two variants of immunological changes occurring in acute coronary disease were identified--one characteristic of a favourable course of the disease, the second characteristic of a complicated course in the acute and late periods. In patients with prior myocardial infarction, residual sensibilization is present both after discharge from the hospital and 1 to 3 years later.
