The authors discuss the relationship between dehydroepiandsoterone, its sulphate conjugate and insulin and ischaemic heart disease in patients with acute myocardial infarction. In the examined group of patients they found lower values of dehydroepiandosterone and its sulphate in men, lower values of dehydroepiandosterone in women as compared with mean values with regard to age and a close inverse correlation of insulin and dehydroepiandrosterone and insulin and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate. Whether dehydroepiandosterone is the "missing link" of hyperinsulinaemia and arterosclerosis is so far only a theoretical issue.
