[Role of inflammation markers in the evaluation of the clinical course of myocardial infarct].

The authors examined the time course of changes in the levels of chlorine soluble mucoprotein and glycosaminoglycans as markers of an acute period of myocardial infarction. A significant correlation was established between the mass of the infarcted myocardium and the severity of its acute reaction as evaluated from the integral volume of various inflammation markers. A mathematical model of this relationship was proposed for patients with complicated and uncomplicated myocardial infarction. It was shown that it was possible to apply these parameters to the assessment of the severity and features of a myocardial infarction course.
