[Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and lipids in acute myocardial infarct].
To establish the possible relationship between acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S) in a group of 15 patients with AMI, blood levels of DHEA-S and certain lipids (total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides) were determined at admission in the hospital and after 10 days. As controls a group of healthy individuals or with minor diseases, and a group of 24 severely ill non-cardioischaemic patients have been studied. DHEA-S and HDL-cholesterol levels have been found significantly lowered both in patients with AMI (at 10th day) as well as in the severely ill non-cardioischaemic patients, in comparison with the healthy volunteers group. We conclude, then, than the lowering in DHEA-S and HDL-cholesterol seems not to be specifically relates with AMI but has a certain relationship with severe disorders in general.
