Abstract

In elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction, prognosis and complications were closely related to the serum levels of enzymes (GOT and CPK). In 14 autopsied cases with transmural infarction, there was a linear relation between serum GOT levels and infarct size. It was concluded that estimation of infarct size and prognosis of a case with acute myocardial infarction could be possible from the serum enzyme levels.
