In 62 patients with chronic coronary heart disease without myocardial infarction the magnesium content of the serum and the erythrocytes was determined by means of the flame atom absorption spectrophotometry in comparison to patients with infarction and a group of healthy test persons. In the patients with chronic coronary heart disease without acute myocardial infarction the magnesium content of the serum was significantly reduced on the first day after the pectanginous attack. No decreased magnesium level of the erythrocytes was present on the first and tenth day after the pectanginous attack.
