Abstract
Soon after the discovery of myocardial enzyme release in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) [269], the relationships were studied between maximal levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or latate dehydrogenase (LDH) and histologically assessed infarct size after experimental infarction in dogs [334,399,82]. Although significant correlations were found, these were insufficiently high to allow accurate estimation of infarct size from maximal enzyme levels.
