Abstract

Glyceryl trinitrate was previously said to be contraindicated in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Its intravenous administration during acute infarction, however, was associated with a beneficial effect as determined by ST segment mapping. Most recently in a selected group of patients with acute infarction and abnormal haemodynamics, intravenous glyceryl trinitrate was shown to reduce infarct size estimated by enzymes. The present study was performed to verify the safety of intravenous glyceryl trinitrate in patients with infarction under conventional clinical conditions without invasive monitoring and to determine its effect on infarct size in a prospective randomised trial involving 85 patients with infarction (43 treated and 42 control). Treated patients received glyceryl trinitrate within 10 hours of the onset of symptoms (mean 6.0 hours), and the dose was titrated to preset limits for changes in heart rate and blood pressure. In patients with inferior infarction, infarct size estimated by enzymes in the treated was only 12.2 +/- 1.8 versus 19.1 +/- 3.6 CK gram equivalents per metre squared in the placebo group. A similar but statistically insignificant trend was observed for subendocardial infarction but no diffe...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
