Abstract
Because variations occur in plasma esterase activity depending on the disease state, we analysed plasma esterase activity during the first 24 h and 14 days after acute myocardial infarction or stroke in 59 patients, and compared these findings with those in 52 healthy controls. Plasma aspirin-esterase and cholinesterase activities were significantly increased 24 h and 7 days postinfarction (P<0.01). Both activities were also increased 24 h after stroke (P<0.05). After 14 days both plasma enzyme activities had returned to normal values in both groups of patients. The transitory increase in plasma esterase activity may be related to haemodynamic variations in acute myocardial infarction.
