VE and BC were determined by HPLC, VC spectrophotometrically. The reperfused patients were divided according to vitamin concentrations into four groups. The lowest quartile was compared with the rest of the studied population (VE: group with high (H) > 15.6 μM > group with low (L), BC: H > 0.07 μM > L, VC: H > 25 μM > L) in the following parameters: extent of myocardial damage (area under the curves of troponin I, CK-MB during 48 h), arrhythmia and congestive heart failure occurrence, size of ejection fraction, positivity of ventricular late potentials. No significant differences between groups H and L for either VE, BC or VC were found (P±0.05). As no correlation between serum concentrations of vitamins E, C and β-carotene and the extent and clinical course of AMI was found, the actual vitamin concentrations may be important for prevention of ischemic heart a disease, but they do not play a decisive role in the acute phase of myocardial infarction in humans.
