Abstract

Adrenal function, blood kallikrein-kinin status and the levels of serotonin, histamine, electrolytes and enzymes were repeatedly assessed in 97 patients with myocardial infarction and external cardiorrhexis. Certain patterns were identified as common to the pre-rupture period and the time of the rupture proper that can have a pathogenetic, and sometimes also diagnostic and predictive, significance.
