Abstract
This is a study of serum iron levels following myocardial infarction in a series of 18 male and 10 female patients. All showed hypoferraemia, which was variable in time of onset, intensity and duration, but was commonly sustained and severe. This was not of prognostic significance, and the Victoria Infirmary coronary prognostic index remains the most reliable prognostic guide.Keywords
