Effect of heparin on plasma free fatty acid concentrations after acute myocardial infarction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Free fatty acid concentrations in plasma measured after in vivo heparinisation are often overestimated because of ex vivo lipolysis of variable degrees. A new method has been developed using immediate extraction of blood which obviates this and shows that the true rise in plasma free fatty acid concentration after heparin in ambulant ward patients and in patients with acute myocardial infarction is less than previously reported. The small rise in plasma free fatty acid concentration after heparin is unlikely to have adverse metabolic effects in most patients during acute myocardial infarction.

Turnover of plasma glucose and free fatty acids in patients on the first day after myocardial infarction.
1. The turnover of plasma glucose and free fatty acids was measured in ten patients within 24 h of the onset of symptoms of acute myocardial infarction and in two with symptoms of acute myocardial ischaemia. The measurements were repeated in seven of the patients 12-40 weeks after the acute episode. 2. Both for the patients with acute myocardial infarction alone and for all the individuals stud...
متن کاملEffect of early oral feeding on plasma free fatty acid concentrations in patients in a coronary care unit.
Forty-two consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction were studied over the first 3 days of their illness to determine the effect of oral or intravenous calorie intake on the circulating free fatty acid values. Repeated sampling in 9 patients showed that free fatty acid levels above 1000 mumol/l were seldom found beyond the first 10 hours after admission. Oral calories, chiefly in the...
متن کاملHeparin, free fatty acids and an increased metabolic demand for oxygen.
Obese and lean subjects were given heparin with or without Intralipid in order to assess the effect of heparin on plasma concentration of free fatty acids (FFA) and oxidative metabolism. The FFA response depended on the triglyceride concentration and was associated with a prompt rise in oxygen consumption. Plasma catecholamines did not alter after heparin and the increase in oxygen uptake was p...

Plasma catecholamine (adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine) concentrations have been measured in 48 patients within 6 hours of the onset of symptoms of an acute myocardial infarction. The concentrations of all three catecholamines were elevated, and there were positive correlations between plasma noradrenaline concentrations and the severity of infarct as assessed by the coronary prognostic i...

In 25 men with acute myocardial infarction simultaneous determinations of free fatty acid (FFA), noradrenaline, and adrenaline were made in blood samples obtained on the 1st and the ioth day after the acute attack. In the acute phase of myocardial infarction the levels ofFFA and noradrenaline were significantly higher than on the ioth day of illness and revealed a highly significant positive co...
