Abstract: 
The kinetics of plasma proteins with short half-life during stress-metabolism in patients after myocardial infarction with and without clinical complications and after angina pectoris were compared. The acute-phase proteins, .alpha.1-antitrypsin, C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, haptoglobin and the transport proteins pre-albumin and transferrin were analyzed with the method of radial immunodiffusion. Angina pectoris does not influence the protein kinetics. After myocardial infarction a continuous increase of the acute-phase proteins to maxima the 3rd-5th day after the attack can be recognized. Parallel to these changes, the transport proteins decrease with subsequent increase. The changes, which are similar to those seen after surgical trauma, are dependent on the severity of illness and can be used as prognostic parameters. During stress metabolism, the concentrations of the proteins depending on nutrition, pre-albumin and transferrin are modified by the type and severity of stress and by nutritional influences. The mechanisms of these changes and the consequences for their use as diagnostic parameters are discussed.
