Earlier administration of IV metoprolol during anterior STEMI was associated with smaller infarct size and higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
Does earlier administration of IV metoprolol reduce infarct size and improve LVEF in anterior STEMI patients undergoing primary angioplasty?
Earlier administration of IV metoprolol during anterior STEMI is associated with reduced infarct size and improved ventricular function.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
In anterior STEMI patients undergoing primary angioplasty, the sooner IV metoprolol is administered in the course of infarction, the smaller the infarct and the higher the LVEF. These hypothesis-generating clinical data are supported by a dedicated experimental large animal study.
García‐Ruiz et al. (Sun,) reported a other. Earlier administration of IV metoprolol during anterior STEMI was associated with smaller infarct size and higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
