[Effect of diets with a varying protein content on fibrinolysis in ischemic heart disease].

A comparative influence of an antiatherosclerotic diet with a reduced proportion of protein (65--70 g) and of a diet with an amount of protein in line with the physiological standard (100--110 g) on the fibrinolysis and lipids spectrum of the blood was studied in 60 patients with ischemic heart disease. The antiatherosclerotic diet is shown to have most favourable effect both on the fibrinolytic system and on the lipids metabolism with the protein proportion of 100--110 g, i.e. in keeping with the physiological standards. A reduction of the protein content in the diet of patients with ischemic heart disease lowers the effect of treatment and does not have any positive influence on the function of the fibrinolytic system.
