The temperature course in acute myocardial infarction.

The rectal temperature course was studied retrospectively in 192 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The ordinary temperature course after AMI was characterized by four points: 1. The morning temperature on the first day in hospital was seldom above 38.2 degrees C. (in four of 50 cases) 2. The maximal morning temperature was seldom recorded before day two or after day five in hospital (in five of 150 cases) 3. The maximal morning temperature seldom reached above 39.0 degrees C. (in one of 150 cases) 4. The morning temperature seldom increased more than 0.6 degrees C. after day five in one or more steps (in nine of 150 cases). Seventy-four per cent of the patients were afebrile after one week, and 96% after two weeks. Patients with higher SGOT (ASAT) maxima had longer duration of fever. Eleven per cent of the patients did not have fever at all.

Diazepam in cardioversion.

Diazepam has been used to an increasing extent in cardioversion, since avoiding general anaesthesia simplifier the procedure. The present study concerns the effect of diazepam on BP and blood gases in 13 cases of cardioversion. A moderate fall of both systolic and diastolic BP occurred. The arterial pO2 and pCO2 did not change significantly.

Creatine phosphokinase after submaximal physical exercise in untrained individuals.

Serial estimations of total serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) have been performed before and during 18-49 hours after submaximal physical exercise in 17 untrained individuals, mean age 50 years. The maximal CPK increase after exercise was 32 mU/ml (73%). The serum CPK did not exceed the upper normal limit (130 mU/ml) except in one individual (150 mU/ml). The maximal CPK increase in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) varied between 101 mU/ml (133%) and 2 260mU/ml(3 790%), mean 900 mU/ml (1 184%). As the maximal CPK elevation in AMI occurs within the same period, it seems that heavy physical work of short duration just before the onset of symptoms will very seldom impair the diagnosis of AMI with the CPK technique used.

Creatine phosphokinase following cardioversion.

Serial estimations of total serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) have been performed before and during 18-51 hours after cardioversion of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias in 12 patients without acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The maximal CPK rise was 78 mU/ml (110%) and the CPK did not exceed the upper normal limit (130 mU/ml) in more than two patients (149 respectively 156 mU/ml). The CPK rise we have observed in a series of AMI patients varied between 101 (133%) and 2 260 mU/ml (3 780%), mean 900 mU/ml (1 184%). Therefore, cardioversion performed as described seldom seems to interfere with diagnosing AMI by serial estimations of serum CPK during the next 24 hours.
