[Dynamics of indices of peripheral circulation as one of the prognostic criteria in acute myocardial infarction]. / Dinamika pokazatelei perifericheskogo krovotoka kak odin iz prognosticheskikh kriteriev pri ostrom infarkte miokarda.

The results of our investigations demonstrate that significant differences exist in peripheral hemodynamics of patients with severe and more favourable course of acute myocardial infarction. This can be explained by different types of hemodynamics. Thus, such parameters as arterial inflow and venous outflow can serve prognostic factors of acute myocardial infarction.

[On possible prognostic values of anti-endotoxin immunological parameters in acute myocardial infarction]. / O vozmozhnom prognosticheskom znachenii pokazatelei anti-éndotoksinovogo immuniteta pri ostrom infarkte miokarda.

Endotoxin is a biologically active substance that has a lipopolysaccharide structure. It is found in the cell walls of microorganisms, principally gram-negative bacteria. By contacting with the cell, endotoxin enhances immunity. The findings suggest that acute myocardial infarction (AMI) occurs due to low immunity that remains the same at week 3 of the disease, thus the levels of antiendotoxin agents may be used in predicting AMI.
