title: The relationship between the lipid structure of the hair and acute myocardial infarction.
abstract: In a group of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) an evaluation of the derangements in lipid metabolism was carried out by analysing the fat structure of the hair (closely reflecting serum lipid variations). The data obtained reflects the real incidence of dyslipidemia associated with myocardial infarction. Through hair analysis, the evaluation in time (over weeks, months) of lipids metabolism under hypolipidemic therapy can be carried out without taking repeated samples.
