Abstract

The use of propranolol since the first hours of myocardial infarction reduced the perinecrotic zone and restricted the zone of myocardial necrosis, decreased the frequency of arrhythmias and did not produce heart insufficiency. The majority of the patients who had suffered myocardial infarction get rid of angina pectoris under the effect of an individually chosen dose of propranolol. They show a more rapid recovery of the physical activity and work fitness. The authors hold that it is desirable that the patients may receive propranolol continuously throughout many years following myocardial infarction.
