Serum LD-1 activity in suspected acute myocardial infarction.

چکیده
We have studied the diagnostic value of measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LD) isoenzyme 1 in serum of 331 cases of suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI). At a discriminatory level of 200 U/L (Scandinavian Committee on Enzymes, recommended method for the determination of LD) LD 1 verified the diagnosis in 96% of the AMI cases and excluded it in 96% of the not-AMI cases when samples were drawn 24-72 h after onset of pain. The correlation between 24-h S-LD-1 and 16-h S-CK B activities was 0.94 in the AMI cases. We found that quantitation of serum LD-1 is diagnostically more reliable than the serum LD-1/LD ratio.

Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme-1: changes during the first day after acute myocardial infarction.
We studied the time course of change of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme-1 (LD-1) in serum of patients suspected of having had an acute myocardial infarction. LD-1 was measured at intervals of 4-8 h during the first and second hospital days, by an immunochemical method. Of the 65 patients in this study, 26 had acute myocardial infarctions by traditional criteria. The ratio of LD-1 to total LD ha...

متن کاملComparison of serum parathyroid hormone level between patients with acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and normal coronary function
Background: Nowadays, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are among the most common causes of mortalities worldwide. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has an important role in the pathogenesis of CVDs. The aim of the current study was to compare serum PTH levels between patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina, and normal coronary function. Methods: This descriptive and analytic stud...

Effects of acute and chronic desipramine treatment. We compared an immunochemical method for determination of creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) and lactate dehydrogenase (LD; EC 1.1.1.27) activities with the conventional electropho-retic method. Of the 105 patients included in this study, 58 were in the intensive-care unit with a preliminary diagnosis of myocardial infarction; the other 47 had d...

The ratio of lactate dehydrogenase (LD-1:LD-2) in serum was studied in 101 patients admitted to a coronary care unit. The clinical reliability of the test could not be predicted from the normality or abnormality of the total serum lactate dehydrogenase (LD) activity. However, for samples with total LD activity below the middle of the normal range, no information was provided by the test. In con...
