METHOD FOR PREDICTING UNFAVORABLE COURSE OF EARLY POST INFARCTION STENOCARDIA

摘要

A method for predicting unfavorable course of early post infarction stenocardia comprises blood analysis. The diameter of the brachial artery is measured at the end-diastolic phase; the artery is compressed with the cuff under the pressure of Hg. In 60 seconds after compression of artery, endothelium-dependent vasodilation is assessed and the parameters obtained are compared with the initial ones. The anginal pains at nights with the decrease in endothelium-dependent vasodilation below 4.4 % and increase in leukocyte count above 1010/ are considered as the predictors of the unfavorable course of early post infarction stenocardia.
