Abstract
Blood coagulation and fibrinolysis were studied in a group of 83 patients 3 months after their first myocardial infarction (MI). All patients were below 55 years of age (mean 49 years). A randomly selected subsample ( n = 76) of 55-year-old men from the general population was used as a control series. The MI group had shorter clotting time of recalcified plasma, shorter partial thromboplastin time (PTT) in silicone tubes but not in glass tubes and lower factor II-VII-X activity than the control series. No other significant differences were found. The possibilities of finding out the significance of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis for coronary thrombosis and MI are discussed.
