title: [Diagnostic value of the determination of salivary acute-phase proteins in patients with myocardial infarction].
abstract: The salivary and plasma levels of acute phase proteins were determined in 59 patients with myocardial infarction (MI). In acute and subacute MI, the content of ceruloplasmin, orosomucoid, and alpha1-antitrypsin increased not only in the plasma, but also in the saliva. A noninvasive procedure was devised to diagnose the termination of an inflammatory process in the necrotic process in MI, which implies the determination of salivary ceruloplasmin, if the latter is less than 106 mg/l, inflammation completeness in the necrotic area is diagnosed. The procedure is simple, reliable, and usable in clinical laboratories.
