Abstract

In 281 patients with acute myocardial infarction, the titer of anticardial antibodies was studied using the indirect immunofluorescence method of Koons. With adequate, immunological reactivity, the height of anticardial-antibody titers reflects the extent of necrotic myocardial damage. Their earliest appearance in blood serum (1-2 days of illness) was observed with repeated and recurrent myocardial infarction. Dissociation between the magnitude of necrotic myocardial damage and a low level of anticardial antibodies indicates a "breakdown" of the protective immunological mechanisms and has an unfavorable prognostic value.
