Abstract

The SGOT test is said to have greater sensitivity than electrocardiography in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. The LDH test is of particular aid when testing is started several days following the infarction. The temporal relationship betiveen infarction and enzyme elevations has an important bearing on the determinations. Consideration must also be given to the many extracardiac factors that affect the enzyme levels.
