Abstract
Ethanol, -naphthol (test for "fibrinogen B") and protamine sulfate tests, performed simultaneously in the blood plasma of patients with acute myocardial infarction, showed a high degree of correlation with each other, but they differed in sensitivity: ethanol -naphthol protamine sulfate. Heparin did not distort the results of the ethanol and -naphthol tests, while the protamine sulfate test results strongly depended on the presence of heparin. The formation of a granular precipitate is not a positive protamine sulfate test and indicates hyperheparinemia. The ethanol test on the basis of data can be recommended to monitor the state of the hemocoagulation system in acute myocardial infarction, including the period of heparin therapy.
