title: [Information value of electrolytes, glucose, and urea in pericardial liquid in different terminal conditions].
abstract: The informative worth of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, glucose, and urea levels in the pericardial liquid is analysed. The values of these parameters in a terminal disease of cerebral origin may testify to the absence of disturbances of energy and protein metabolism or electrolyte disbalance in the myocardium. Disturbances of myocardial electrolyte balance, energy and protein metabolism develop in cardiac, pulmonary, and mixed type terminal conditions. Cardiac arrest is associated with impaired myocardial conduction.
