Neuroendocrine Activation in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Neuroendocrine activation in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may have important physiological consequences for myocardial perfusion and function. We measured plasma angiotensin II in 60 patients with AMI within 6 hours of pain and on days 1–3 and day 10. On admission, All was normal at 9.9 + 1.3 p...

Zusammenfassung: | Neuroendocrine activation in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may have important physiological consequences for myocardial perfusion and function. We measured plasma angiotensin II in 60 patients with AMI within 6 hours of pain and on days 1–3 and day 10. On admission, All was normal at 9.9 + 1.3 pmol/1 (normal range 2–12 pmol/1). At day 3. All rose markedly to 77.5 ± 25.0 in those with heart failure (group 1. n = 13); but All also rose in uncomplicated patients (group 2. n = 47) to 27.X + 4.0 (p< (0001). At day 10, levels of All remained high, especially in group 1 (50.5 + 22.2 vs. 6.1 + 1.5. p |
