[Effect of stenosing coronary arteriosclerosis on myocardial mast cells].
Mast cells were examined in the left ventricular myocardium of 134 patients who had died of different diseases. Myocardial mast cells were smaller in quantity and size and somewhat degranulated where coronary arteries were stenosed due to atherosclerosis. These changes in mast cells can be used as a criterion of chronic myocardial ischemia. The findings are suggestive of functional insufficiency in myocardial mast cells associated with coronary disease.
