The authors discuss the relationship between dehydroepiandsoterone, its sulphate conjugate andinsulin and ischaemic heart disease in patients with acute myocardial infarction. In the examinedgroup of patients they found lower values of dehydroepiandosterone and its sulphate in men,lower values of dehydroepiandosterone in women as compared with mean values with regard toage and a close inverse correlation of insulin and dehydroepiandrosterone and insulin and dehyd-roepiandrosterone sulphate.Whether dehydroepiandosterone is the „missing link“ of hyperinsuli-naemia and arterosclerosis is so far only a theoretical issue.
Key words: Dehydroepiandrosterone - Insulin - Arteriosclerosis - Myocardial infarction
