Cardiologists assembled here Thursday from all over the nation heard about a substance which may offer new hope to patients with blood clots.
Experimental use of this substance in dissolving blood clots was described at an interim meeting of the American College of Cardiologists. It is be-in% held at the Jung hotel.
Dr. John S. LaDue, New York city, told how the substance, an enzyme or protein complex known as plasmin, has been successfully used to dissolve blood clots in the veins and arteries of the legs of a number of patients.
Friday, Dr. Clark H. Milli-kan, of the Mayo Clinic, will describe the use of this substance in experiments with patients who have had strokes. RADIOACTIVITY
In other high lights of Thursday's sessions, speakers:
1. Described construction of a shielded room which will be; used in the measuring of the natural radio-activity in the human body.
2. Said there is apparently a connection between pericarditis! (inflammation of the covering of j the heart) and virus diseases.
3. Warned that a heavy intake of salt In the diet may cause hardening of the arteries, i
4. Bemoaned the fact that) housewives throw away the water in which they have cooked vegetables, thus depriving their families of the potassium so needed by the human body.
Dr. LaDue said research scientists at the Sloan-Kettering Institute at Memorial Center in New York city have been carrying on experiments to find a new substance to dissolve blood clots.
"There is a naturally recurring enzyme in the body, which apparently dissolves these blood clots," added the cardiologist. "It is called plasmin. We have given this plasmin to dogs. And it has dissolved blood clots which1 were produced experimentally in the coronary arteries as well as in the peripheral arteries and! veins."
