Taylor & Francis Thrombolysis and Adjunctive Therapy for Acute Myocardial Infarction 1992 Edition by Eric R. Bates
This reference book offers in-depth coverage of pharmacological and mechanical interventions available for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. It examines the efficacy of thrombolytic therapy by analyzing infarct artery patency, left ventricular function, mortality and complications.;The book presents therapeutic results on the use of nitrates, beta adrenergic blockers and calcium channel blockers, details antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy, describes new antiplatelet and antithrombin agents, investigates combination thrombolytic therapy and the potential of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
