This part will present an evaluation of the SGO-T test in cerebral vascular accidents and right heart failure, conditions that may be accompanied by myocardial infarction, and that involve tissues rich in glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (GO-T) (brain and liver, respectively).A. CEREBRAL VASCULAR ACCIDENTSA cerebral vascular accident may be the presenting and sometimes the only symptom of a coronary occlusion. Bean and Read2, 3described eight cases...Bibliography1.
