Abstract
After cardiac catheterization and coronary arteriography, 134 patients who had had an acute myocardial infarction were randomly assigned to treatment with intracoronary streptokinase (4000 U per minute, begun approximately 4 1/2 hours after the onset of symptoms, for a total of 286,000±77,800 U over 72±24 minutes); 116 control patients received standard care after they returned to the coronary care unit, immediately after angiography.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
