Relationship between plasma lipids, lipoproteins and other laboratory tests during the course of acute myocardial infarction.
A multivariate analysis was done for the observed variations of lipids, lipoproteins, glycoproteins, and other laboratory tests occurring after myocardial infarction. The origin of plasma triglyceride increase and VLDL-protein reduction is discussed in relation with modified enzyme activities (hormone-sensitive lipase, lipoprotein-lipase, LCAT). The relations between HDL and lipids, glucose, area are analyzed. Changes in VLDL are opposite in direction from the changes in HDL. Delayed significant increase in haptoglobin and alpha 1-antitrypsin exist with a tendency to an increase in C3 and IgM. Various associations link lipoprotein constituents to alpha 1-antitrypsin, IgM, witnesses of the development of an inflammatory process. Recent introduction of apoprotein determinations will bring new outlook on changes accompanying myocardial infarction.
