Nitrates in myocardial infarction: influence on infarct size, reperfusion, and ventricular remodelling.

Abstract

No benefit was observed with administration of nitrates in the treatment groups as a whole for either acute or subacute infarction. There was, however, evidence of heterogeneity of effect in the different subgroups of acute infarction, and the possibility that nitrates may have differing actions in different groups of patients should be considered.
