title: Collagen peptidase in serum of patients with myocardial infarction.
abstract: Activity of collagen peptidase was measured in patients with myocardial infarction. Determinations were carried out 1, 3, 6, 9, 14 and 21 days after admission to the hospital. A decrease of activity was observed between the 6th-21st day of the disease. A low correlation with serum aminotransferases was found. It is concluded that estimation of serum collagen peptidase does not reflect accumulation of collagen in the healing heart muscle.
