[Cytochrome-C in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarct].

Sixty-eight patients with acute macrofocal myocardial infarction were subdivided in two groups depending on the kind of treatment: routine (nitrates, beta-blocking agents, calcium antagonists) and cytochrom-C. It was found that cytochrom-C produced a positive effect on the indices of myoglobin and cardiac fractions of lactatedehydrogenase-1 and lactatedehydrogenase-2. It is shown that inclusion of cytochrom-C during the first hours of treatment of patients with macrofocal myocardial infarction resulted in an improvement of tissue breathing and amelioration of the peri-infarction zone state.
