Résumé
Sixty five cases of Acute Myocardial Infarction, of which 40 cases received thrombolytic therapy, were followed up for a period of one year for clinical course and left ventricular function. Reperfusion was achieved in 65% cases who received thrombolytic therapy. At discharge and at one year treated group fared well on Killip Scale, and ejection fraction (EF), and the overally mortality was lower. This difference was more significant in the group who achieved reperfusion. Male sex, Anterior wall infarctions, deep Q wave infarctions as also low EF at the time of discharge and late cardiac events had adverse effect on the course of infarction during follow up.

Serum total cholesterol and serum cholesterol binding reserve (SCBR) were estimated in 50 healthy subjects and 25 cases with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and their seventy asymptomatic first degree relatives. In normal subjects mean values of SCBR tended to expand with increasing levels of serum cholesterol, while this relationship was reversed in cases with IHD. The relatives showed a direct correlation between serum cholesterol and SCBR upto serum cholesterol level of 220 mg/dl, but the correlation was lost beyond this level. The critical levels for predicting risk of IHD were 30 mg/dl for SCBR and 8 for cholesterol: SCBR ratio. The latter was found to be a more sensitive index for predicting the risk of IHD as compared to SCBR alone.
