[The fatty acid composition of the lipids in the expired air condensate from patients with complicated and uncomplicated courses of myocardial infarct].
A gas-chromatographic analysis was performed of lipids high fatty-acid composition in the expired air condensate (EAC) in those patients presenting with myocardial infarction (MI) running an uncomplicated course and under development of pulmonary edema and pneumonia. The development in the patients of pulmonary complications in MI acute phase was found out to be accompanied by a substantial increase in EAC lipids content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, arachidonic acid in particular, which observation can serve as a diagnostic and prognostic criterion.
