[The dynamic changes in the fatty acid composition of the sweat from patients in the acute period of a myocardial infarct]. / Dinamika izmenenii zhirnokislotnogo sostava pota bol'nykh v ostrom periode infarkta miokarda.

Sweat lipids higher fatty acid composition was measured in patients in the time course of myocardial infarction development using a gas-chromatography technique. Within 2-4 days of the onset of myocardial infarction running a complicated course sweat lipids total polyunsaturated fatty acids have gotten strikingly increased (by 700% versus control) at the expense of linoleic acid (a rise by 300%) and arachidonic acid (an increase by 400%), which fact can be relied upon in prognostication and early diagnosis of pulmonary edema and pneumonia.
