The reconstructive processes in a heart infarction pertain also the fibrous tissue sceleton, of which the main element are collagen fibres. The aim of the study was determination of variability of a specific collagen synthesis marker, i.e. the serum aminoterminal type III procollagen peptide (PIIINP...
