[Fibrinolysis, interleukins and coronary atherosclerosis].

: The study of the fibrinolytic system and the activity of interleukin 1 and 2 in 75 patients with various cardial manifestations of atherosclerosis (angina of effort, angina decubitus, arrhythmia, symptomatic hypertension) revealed a decrease in the activity of plasminogen--a blood activator--in patients with angina of effort, angina decubitus and cardiac arrhythmias. In those with atherosclerotic hypertension the activatory activity was in the normal limits. A decrease in the activity of interleukin 1 and 2 was noted in all those examined.
