Abstract

Lipids of exhaled air condensate (EAC) and sweat are analyzed by gas chromatography in coronary patients with myocardial infarction complicated by lung edema. Changes of lipid fatty acid spectrum in EAC and sweat were uniform: the levels of linoleic and arachidonic acids were increased, which can aggravate the disease and lead to complications.
