In fact, erythrocytosis occurred frequently enough in patients with myocardial infarction to warrant a systematic study of this problem. Material and Methods The material for this study was obtained from autopsy records of the Veterans Administration Hospital in New Orleans. One hundred patients with acute myocardial infarction were selected at random. Patients with associated diseases known to affect the hematocrit, i.e., carcinoma, uremia, pulmonary disease, and polycythemia vera, were excluded from this study.
