The aim of the investigation is to study the influence of human myocardium myosin on the quantitative values of T-lymphocytes examined as active rosettes [correction of rosellae] in patients with ischemic heart disease. The study included 99 patients with ischemic heart disease, 49 of them with myocardial infarction and 50--with stenocardia. The controls were 61 clinically healthy donors. It was established that the active rosettes [correction of rosellae] in the patients with myocardial infarction were significantly less than in the controls (p less than 0.05). A significant inhibiting action of the human myocardium myosin on the active rosettes [correction of rosellae] was manifested (p less than 0.002). This action in the patients with stenocardia was less expressed (p less than 0.05). Myosin from a striated muscle did not exert an inhibiting action (p greater than 0.1). The results prove the participation of human myocardium myosin in the pathogenetic mechanism of T-lymphocytes suppression in patients with ischemic heart disease.
