Summary
Myocardial necrosis in humans was accompanied in over 90% of the cases studied by elevation of the serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase. Serum adenosine triphosphatase and serum lipoprotein lipase were not elevated.

The myocardial ischemia of angina pectoris was not accompanied by any elevation of transaminase levels.
