Can a general dehydrogenase reaction (Nitro-BT) identify early macroscopic myocardial infarction in necropsy specimens?
A general dehydrogenase reaction using Nitro-BT can reliably identify macroscopic myocardial infarctions as early as 8 hours post-infarction in necropsy specimens.
Reuben A. Ramkissoon (1966) studied this question.
