Hypothesis-generating for beta-blockade in acute MI; leaves open need for randomized trials before any practice change.
Does practolol reduce ST segment elevation in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Administration of the beta-blocker practolol reduces the extent and severity of ST segment elevation in patients with acute myocardial infarction, suggesting a reduction in ischemia.
PELIDES et al. (1972) studied this question.
