[Clinical experience with the use of nitroglycerin in the acute period of myocardial infarct]. 1984

L L Orlov, and A M Shilov, and G E Roĭtberg

The authors summarize the results of treating 1284 patients with macrofocal acute myocardial infarction. In 1097 of these patients the treatment consisted of the intravenous administration of the alcohol solution of nitroglycerin. The control group was comprised of 184 patients whose treatment scheme included no nitroglycerin. The group of nitroglycerin-treated patients showed a decrease in the mortality rate as compared to control, 18.1% and 24.1%, respectively. The drug studied was also found to have an anti-arrhythmic effect. The most optimal timing of nitroglycerin use to limit the area of myocardial ischemia is the first six hours of infarction, later on in the presence of heart failure it is advisable to use this drug in combination with cardiac glycosides. There were practically no complications following the intravenous administration of nitroglycerin.

D002301 Cardiac Glycosides Cyclopentanophenanthrenes with a 5- or 6-membered lactone ring attached at the 17-position and SUGARS attached at the 3-position. Plants they come from have long been used in congestive heart failure. They increase the force of cardiac contraction without significantly affecting other parameters, but are very toxic at larger doses. Their mechanism of action usually involves inhibition of the NA(+)-K(+)-EXCHANGING ATPASE and they are often used in cell biological studies for that purpose.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
