Alpha-cholesterol is one of the risk factors for the manifestation of myocardial infarction. The authors examined 48 patients with ischemic heart disease, complicated with myocardial infarction, 28 males and 20 females, aged from 40 to 60, treated at the Clinic of Cardiovascular Diseases with Intensive Unit, RIID--Med.
