ABSTRACT
The results of our investigations demonstrate that significant differences exist in peripheral hemodynamics of patients with severe and more favourable course of acute myocardial infarction. This can be explained by different types of hemodynamics. Thus, such parameters as arterial inflow and venous outflow can serve prognostic factors of acute myocardial infarction.

Endotoxin is a biologically active substance that has a lipopolysaccharide structure. It is found in the cell walls of microorganisms, principally gram-negative bacteria. By contacting with the cell, endotoxin enhances immunity. The findings suggest that acute myocardial infarction (AMI) occurs due to low immunity that remains the same at week 3 of the disease, thus the levels of antiendotoxin agents may be used in predicting AMI.
