Abstract
In a prospective study selected fibrinolysis variables were assessed in plasma samples from 29 consecutive patients recovering a first instance of acute myocardial infarction and the results were correlated with reinfarction during the next four years. Nine patients suffered a reinfarction leaving a group of 20 patients without evidence of relapse. The reinfarction group was characterized by lower tissue plasminogen activator activities in plasma euglobu-lins (pp2-antiplasmin.Keywords
