[Studies of potassium and sodium in ischemic changes of the human myocardium].

The results are presented of investigations concerning the potassium-sodium ratio in the human myocardium under ischaemia in correlation with macroreaction to dehydrogenases. The values found, though approaching those of the familiar experimental results, can hardly be regarded as reliable in diagnosing early ischaemic changes in autopsy material since they are affected by post-mortem changes.
