Fatty-acid composition was determined of blood lipids, the expired air condensate, sweat, and lung tissue in uncomplicated myocardial infarction and development of acute left ventricular insufficiency and ventricular fibrillation. While comparing the results obtained it was found out that the most manifest changes in the fatty-acid composition of lipids occur in erythrocytes, the expired air condensate, and sweat in complicated course of myocardial infarction. Unlike blood serum, the expired air condensate, and sweat, erythrocytes reveal heterodirectional changes in the content of saturated and unsaturated acids. The same tendency has been noted in lung tissue in ventricular fibrillation.
