[Thyroid hormones, cholesterol, erythrocyte aggregation and fibrinogen degradation products in acute myocardial infarct]. 1980

One hundred and sixty-two patients with acute myocardial infarction, whose ages ranged from 36 to 65, were studied. The content of thyroid hormones was found to be reduced in the acute period of myocardial infarction. The triiodothyronine level was lower on the 2nd day of the disease, the thyroxine content decreased on the 10th day of the disease but became normal on the 20-25th day. An interrelation between the clinical course of the disease and the dynamics of changes in the cholesterol content, rate of erythrocyte aggregation, the content of fibrinogen degradation products, and the level of thyroid hormones was determined. Normalization of the values was determined. Normalization of the values studied occurred earlier in the group of patients with a more favourable course of the acute period of myocardial infarction than in those with severe myocardial infarction. The data obtained show a close interrelation between thyroid activity and values studied and the clinical course of the disease.

D002784 Cholesterol The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Epicholesterol
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D004903 Erythrocyte Aggregation The formation of clumps of RED BLOOD CELLS under low or non-flow conditions, resulting from the attraction forces between the red blood cells. The cells adhere to each other in rouleaux aggregates. Slight mechanical force, such as occurs in the circulation, is enough to disperse these aggregates. Stronger or weaker than normal aggregation may result from a variety of effects in the ERYTHROCYTE MEMBRANE or in BLOOD PLASMA. The degree of aggregation is affected by ERYTHROCYTE DEFORMABILITY, erythrocyte membrane sialylation, masking of negative surface charge by plasma proteins, etc. BLOOD VISCOSITY and the ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE are affected by the amount of erythrocyte aggregation and are parameters used to measure the aggregation.

D000787 Angina Pectoris The symptom of paroxysmal pain consequent to MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA usually of distinctive character, location and radiation. It is thought to be provoked by a transient stressful situation during which the oxygen requirements of the MYOCARDIUM exceed that supplied by the CORONARY CIRCULATION. Angor Pectoris,Stenocardia,Stenocardias
