title: [Myocardial catecholamine levels in patients with congenital and acquired heart defects].
abstract: Catecholamine levels were determined in the myocardial slices from 66 patients with congenital and acquired heart diseases by the trihydroxyindole++ method on a Lumilan fluorescence spectrophotometer. The patients were found to have greatly varying epinephrine and norepinephrine levels. The accumulation of catecholamine reflected, to a certain extent, the occurrence of disorders in relation to the functional load, hyperfunctions of the myocardium. Blood hypoxemia and myocardial hypoxia affected the status of the patients.
