    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 44 Patienten mit chronischer Niereninsuffizienz unterschiedlicher Äthiologie wurde das immunreaktive Serum-Myoglobin bestimmt und mit den Werten von Probanden mit normaler Nierenfunktion verglichen. Es fand sich — unabhängig von der Grunderkrankung — eine hoch signifikante lineare Korrelation zwischen dem Serum-Myoglobin und der Serum-Kreatinin-Konzentration. Bei Patienten mit Serum-Kreatinin-Werten über 550 µMol/1 (6,2 mg-%) lagen die Serum-Myoglobin Konzentrationen fast regelmäßig im pathologischen Bereich. Dies gilt auch für chronische Dialysepatienten. Die Befunde zeigen, daß bei Patienten mit höhergradiger, chronischer Niereninsuffizienz das Serum-Myoglobin nur mit Einschränkung zur Infarktdiagnostik geeignet ist.
    Notes: Summary In 44 patients with chronic renal failure of varied etiology serum immunoreactive myoglobin was measured and compared to values obtained in patients with normal renal function. Irrespective of the underlying disease a highly significant linear correlation was found between serum immunoreactive myoglobin and serum creatinine concentration. In patients with serum creatinine concentrations above 550 µmol/1 (6.2 mg%) serum myoglobin was as a rule elevated above the range found in the controls with normal renal function. This was also true in dialysis patients. These result demonstrate that serum myoglobin may only be used with restrictions in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction in patients suffering from advanced chronic renal failure.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Ein Radioimmunoassay zur Bestimmung von Serum-Myoglobin (SMb) wird vorgestellt. Bei 50 gesunden Probanden beträgt der Meßwertbereich 0–90 ng/ml. Serielle Bestimmungen an 10 Patienten mit akutem Myokardinfarkt beziehungsweise Angina pectoris (AP) zeigen, daß SMb bei Myokardinfarkt vor CK und CK-MB pathologische Werte erreicht (im Mittel 250±95 ng/ml bei stationärer Aufnahme 3,3±1,4 h nach AP-Beginn). Die gleichzeitig bestimmte NAC-aktivierte CK liegt zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch im Normbereich und erreicht pathologische Werte erst 6,2±1,9 h nach Schmerzbeginn. Der Peak des Serum-Myoglobins liegt mit 506±194 ng/ml 8,8±2,8 h, der der CK mit 905±475 mU/ml 20,0±7,8 h nach Anginabeginn. CK-MB und CK unterscheiden sich im zeitlichen Verlauf nur unwesentlich. Ein Patient mit ausgeprägter AP hat bei sonst unauffälligem Enzymmuster pathologisch erhöhte SMb-Werte. Methodische und klinische Ergebnisse werden diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary A radioimmunoassay was developed to determine serum myoglobin (SMb). 50 healthy persons showed values between 0 and 90 ng/ml. Serial tests of 10 patients following acute myocardial infarction or during angina pectoris (AP) indicated that SMb reached pathological values before CK and CK-MB (average 250±95 ng/ml at the time of hospitalisation which corresponds to 3.3±1.4 h after beginning of angina pectoris). At hospitalisation the simultaneously determined CK was within normal limits and reached pathological values only 6.2±1.9 h after the onset of angina. Maximum of SMb was 506±194 ng/ml occurring 8.8±2.8 h after the beginning of AP, maximum of CK was 905±475 mU/ml occurring 20.0±7.8 h after AP. CK-MB and CK differed only slightly in their time course. One patient with severe AP had pathologically increased SMb values whilst all other enzymes were completely normal. Methodical and clinical results are discussed.

    Notes: Summary According to several reports of close correlations between pulmonary artery pressure and ANF plasma levels it would be convenient to replace invasive pressure monitoring by ANF determination. Mean pulmonary artery and right atrial pressures and pulmonary artery as well as peripheral venous ANF plasma concentrations were measured in 24 patients before and after coronary angioplasty (PTCA) continuously at rest and during exercise: At rest, both pressure and ANF-values remained unchanged before and after PTCA. At exercise, there was a decrease of mean pulmonary artery pressure (from 41.3±8.6 to 31.5±7.4 mmHg,p〈0.001), mean right atrial pressure (from 11.9±3.0 to 9.0±2.3 mmHg,p〈 0.001), pulmonary artery (282.5±191.0 to 207.3±157.2 pg/ml,p〈0.05) and peripheral venous (112.7±48.0 to 97.1±53.2 pg/ml, n.s.) ANF concentration after PTCA. We found no correlation between PTCA-induced changes of right arterial pressures and ANF concentrations, while changes of pulmonary artery pressures were significantly correlated to changes of peripheral venous (r=0.79,p〈0.001) as well as pulmonary artery (r=0.59,p〈0.01) ANF concentrations at exercise. In 6 of the 24 patients, however there was an inverse relationship between changes of pulmonary artery pressures and ANF concentrations. — Our data demonstrate a significant correlation between changes of ANF plasma level and pulmonary artery pressure values at exercise after PTCA. In the individual case however invasive pressure monitoring cannot be replaced by determination of ANF plasma levels.

    Notes: Summary We investigated in rat hearts if chronic alcohol consumption causes an enzymatic adaption of the energy-supplying metabolism and/or of the alcohol-aldehyde metabolizing system. 16 rats were pair-fed with a liquid diet for 10 weeks. Ethanol was added to this diet to amount for 35% of calories in eight rats and was isocalorically replaced by saccharose in the control group. Selected enzyme activities of the glycolysis, the glycogenolysis, the β-oxidation of fatty acids, the citric acid cycle and the alcohol-aldehyde oxidizing system were determined in the supernatants of the homogenized hearts. The intracellular redox state was assessed by measurement of the myocardial nicotinamide coenzymes. Enzyme activities of the alcohol-aldehyde metabolizing system did not alter after chronic alcohol intake. As we found that the capacity to oxidize acetaldehyde was much higher than the ability to oxidize ethanol we must question the role of acetaldehyde in inducing alcoholic cardiomyopathy. Chronic ethanol treatment significantly increased the activity of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and decreased the activity of glycogen phosphorylase. The impairment of the hydroxyacylCoA dehydrogenase was not significant. The other measured enzyme activities did not alter, nor the intracellular redox state. The enzymatic adaption indicates an impaired glycogenolysis, an increased glycolysis, and probably a diminished β-oxidation of fatty acids. We expect that the measurement of the responding enzyme activities in human endomyocardial biopsies should be a good tool to further classify cardiomyopathies according to biochemical criteria.
