Does not warrant clinical adoption; leaves open translation of combined metoprolol-dazmegrel benefit to human infarct size.
Does acute pretreatment with a combination of metoprolol and dazmegrel reduce myocardial infarct size in rats with coronary artery occlusion?
Pretreatment with a combination of metoprolol and dazmegrel reduces myocardial infarct size and histological damage in a rat model of coronary artery occlusion.
