[The cationic proteins of the peripheral blood leukocytes in patients with ischemic heart disease].

The authors studied the content of cationic proteins of peripheral blood leukocytes in patients with ischemic heart disease and in patients with myocardial infarction. It was found that the content of cationic proteins tended to increase in the acute period of myocardial infarction. The degree of increase of cationic proteins depended on the severity and extent of myocardial necrosis. In patients with ischemic heart disease the values of cationic proteins were within upper normal limits. The possibility is diseased of evaluating cationic proteins of leucocytes as an additional criterion in assessment of the course of myocardial infarction and state of cellular unspecific immunity.
