Abstract:
We present a patient with acute myocardial infarction in whom the use of nitroprusside 48 hours after the first symptom, was accompanied by a rise in the ST segment representative of the ischemic area. Our experience suggests that precaution is needed in the use of nitroprusside even several days after an acute myocardial infarction.
