Circulating endothelial cells in acute myocardial infarction and angina pectoris.
The authors have counted circulating anuclear carcasses of endothelial cells by a new method in 105 patients with acute myocardial infarction and angina pectoris. In infarction cases as well as in severe angina a significant increase of endothelaemia was observed in duration of several days. No increase was observed in milder angina cases (type I--II).
