The studies have revealed that the platelets of myocardial infarction patients are lysed when in vitro exposed to the necrotic myocardial antigen or to actomyosin proteins within this antigen, this lysis correlating with the disease clinical course. The reaction is specific. High antigen platelet lysis (greater than 14%) in the first day of myocardial infarction frequently aggravates the course of the disease. The prognosis based on this test helps single out the patients with an aggravated condition among those with myocardial infarction.
