[Investigation of magnesium and calcium in ischemic changes in the human myocardium].

The results are presented of tests for magnesium and calcium and their ratio in the human myocardium affected by ischemia in correlation with macroreaction to dehydrogenases. The cases were examined in the shortest possible time after death, observing strict criteria. Even some of the relatively early postmortem changes were found to block the practical diagnostic uses of the changes of magnestium and calcium metabolism in postmortem material.
