Of several enzymes studied, glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (GO-T) has been given the most attention, and estimation of its level in serum (SGO-T) has been widely accepted as an aid in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Determination of SGO-T levels has become one of the standard procedures available in the laboratories of most general hospitals.SGO-T determination in patients suspected of myocardial infarction is especially valuable when clinical and electrocardiographic data are inconclusive.
