Abstract
Myoglobin was identified in the serum of 11 of 21 patients after myocardial infarction by a sensitive specific complement fixation technic. This method allowed detection of as little as 0.03 mug of myoglobin. The assay tended to underestimate small concentrations of myoglobin due to serum interference. Myoglobinuria occurred with myoglobinemia but did not reflect the level of myoglobinemia or the duration of elevated serum levels. Larger amounts of myoglobin, 0.4 mug/ml or greater, were found in patients with severe infarctions, three of four of whom died as a result of this illness.Entities:
