Employing modern radio-isotope techniques of hormone examinations (that of competitive protein binding for hydrocortisone determinations, and the radioimmunoassay for progesterone and aldosterone determinations in the peripheral blood), 102 patients with acute myocardial infarction were examined. It is concluded that a comprehence study of the functional state of the adrenals in patients with myocardial infarction with the employment of radio-isotope techniques will permit to reveal some additional mechanisms of the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction and its complications, and to be guided in the choice of rational therapy.
