Notes:
Iso-Dalt analysis of serum from myocardial infarction patients has revealed the presence of a group of low (〈23 000) molecular weight basic peptides, as yet unidentified, which were not found in the serum of healthy controls. The presence and staining intensity of these proteins correlated with the qualitatively assessed serum creatine kinase MB isoenzyme activity. The proteins were not detected in sera from patients at risk of developing coronary heart disease (smokers, hypertensive patients, subjects with a family history of developing coronary heart disease, oral contraceptive users, hyperlipidaemics, and diabetics). This excludes their possible use as a predictive test for the development of coronary heart disease. It seems probable that they originate in the cells in or near the infarct.
