    Abstract:
    Urinary excretion of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), noradrenaline, adrenaline and vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) was studied in 30 patients with acute myocardial infarction. The excretion of MHPG was higher in patients with myocardial infarction than in the control group, with no difference between uncomplicated and complicated courses of the disease. The excretion of MHPG showed a negative although not significant correlation with noradrenaline and VMA during the first days of infarction and a statistically significant positive correlation on the 5th day of the disease. The possible causes of the changes observed are discussed.
