May support labetalol for BP control in hypertensive acute MI; leaves open randomized confirmation before practice change.
Observational (n=15)
Does incremental infusion of labetalol safely and effectively reduce blood pressure in patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction and systemic hypertension?
Incremental labetalol infusion safely and effectively lowers blood pressure and improves hemodynamic parameters in patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction and severe hypertension.
Marx et al. (1979) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction with systemic hypertension (n=15). Labetalol infusion was evaluated on Reduction of systemic BP to less than 130 mm Hg systolic or 90 mmHg diastolic. Labetalol infusion safely and effectively lowered systemic blood pressure to less than 130/90 mmHg in 100% of patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction and severe hypertension.
