title: [Clinical and prognostic value of monitoring the acute phase protein levels in patients with myocardial infarction].
abstract: The value of evaluating the protein levels at the acute stage was examined to define the clinical course and prognosis of myocardial infarction. The time course of hospital myocardial infarction was studied in 117 patients. The Manchini radial immunodiffusion with reference monospecific antisera was employed to determine individual proteins during the acute stage (orosomucoid, C-reactive protein, alpha 1-antitrypsin, C3 complement, ceruloplasmin). The level of circulating immune complexes was measured by polyethylene glycol precipitation. There was a close correlation between the circulating immune complex levels and some acute phase parameters, suggesting the relationship between immune and inflammatory processes. The changes in the magnitude of some acute phase parameters and circulating immune complexes were found to be significant in predicting the development of complications and the fatal outcome of the disease.
