Acute myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries. In vivo demonstration of coronary thrombosis during the acute episode.

abstract：:The effects of heparin were studied in a group of 42 patients with preinfarction angina (PA) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) whose plasma fibrinogen was increased. Plasma fibrinogen was measured by the turbidimetric method in timol turbidimetric units. Statistically significant results proved that heparin reduce...
