[Parameters of myocardial metabolism and central hemodynamics in acute myocardial infarct]
Abstract:
The study in 15 patients with myocardial infarction of the content in the arterial blood and the blood of the coronary sinus of lactate, glucose, nonesterified fatty acids has shown the increase of utilization of these substances in 5 cases, appearance of lactate production and enhancement of glucose and insulin extraction in 4, decrease of extraction of glucose, lactate, insulin in 4 patients. In the complicated cases of myocardial infarction it was established that the extraction of glucose, insulin decrease and in a number of cased production of lactate by the myocardium supervenes. It is concluded that interrelationship exists between the type of metabolic disorders and the frequency of complications in myocardial infarction.

The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...
