When in vivo and in vitro studies of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) were compared with healthy controls there was significantly diminished cutaneous cellular immunity and numbers of T lymphocytes in patients who suffered MI. This study contrasted patients with MI to controls and to patients with other types of cardiovascular disease. There was a significant difference when control patients were compared with those who failed to survive MI for 4 weeks (P less than .001). Patients who died in less than 1 month had 3.6 times less circulating percent T-cells than age-matched controls. A new method is described for categorization of in vitro T-cells in human subjects. If certain patients with low numbers of T-cells following MI die, perhaps this information may serve to alert the physician to intervene and correct the patient's course to recovery.
