Collagen peptidase in serum of patients with myocardial infarction.
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.
