[The soluble fibrin monomer in patients with instable angina].

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to measure the blood level of thrombus precursor protein (TpP), a soluble fibrin monomer, in patients with stable exertional angina (SEA) and healthy people. The study included the examination of 33 patients with SEA (functional class II and III) and 29 practically healthy volunteers (control group). The detection of TpP in blood plasma was performed by solid-phase immune-enzyme analysis ("sandwich" type) using commercial diagnosticum "Kit" ("ABS", USA) and a microplate reader "IEMS Analyzer\Dispenser, with automatic result calculation in "Logistic fif" mode. TpP level in patients with SEA on the average was slightly higher than in control group, but the difference was not significant. TpP blood level was independent of the patients' gender, age, angina functional class and an old myocardial infarction. TpP blood level in patients with SEA depended on the duration of the illness, and proved to be significantly higher (compared with that in control group) in patients with SEA during the first 5 years of the illness, i.e. at early stages of CHD. Solid-phase immune-enzyme analysis ("sandwich" type) is a highly informative and affordable clinical method. TpP level in patients with SEA on the average was slightly higher than in healthy people (1.21 +/- 0.06 mkg/ml and 1.01 +/- 0.12 mkg/ml, respectively), but the difference was significant only in patients during the first 5 years of having SEA (1.41 +/- 0.11 mkg/ml).
