Patterns of changes in blood plasma lipids and apolipoproteins were examined in 16 patients with acute large-focal myocardial infarction. Six of those were investigated during unstable angina pectoris. Lipoproteins responsible for cholesterol transport to tissues (apo-beta-containing lipoproteins) and its outflow (apo-A-I-containing lipoproteins) were shown to undergo a variety of metabolic changes in the course of myocardial infarction. Possible prognostic implications of patterns of post-infarction changes in lipoprotein and apolipoprotein spectrum are discussed with respect to predicting further development of atherosclerosis.
