Echocardiographic and electrocardiographic short term effect of thrombolytic therapy in acute myocardial infarction

ABSTRACT

This prospective study was conducted in order to evaluate short term effects of thrombolytic therapy, in patients with AMI, on clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic parameters. Sixty seven patients with AMI were randomized into 2 groups, test group treated with IV/SK and control group treated with conventional therapy. From the comparative analysis, the test group and its different subgroups show less incidence of recurrent chest pain and LVF, rapid resolution of electrocardiographic S-T segment and higher E.F as compared to control. Also, the earlier the start of thrombolytic therapy the more prominent this good progorestic changes So, it is mandatory to use this line of treatment on a wide scale in patients with AMI very early the prehospital phase if, possible, in order to improve the prognosis of such fatal disease
