Acute myocardial infarction: pharmacologic treatment in the coronary care unit
Abstract:
It is reasonable to consider treating the patient with an uncomplicated infarction with as many as 10 drugs: a benzodiazepine, a sedative, oxygen, morphine, lidocaine, a nitrate, an anticoagulant, a thrombolytic agent, a beta blocker, and possibly a calcium-channel antagonist. Obviously, experienced judgment must be used in selecting the appropriate agents for each patient. A properly staffed and equipped coronary care unit continues to be the most important preventative for unnecessary deaths during the acute phase of myocardial infarction.
