| Abstract: | As many as 43 patients with myocardial infarction were under observation. There were 30 men and 13 women aged 36 to 82 years. Of these, 26 patients had large-focal and 17 transmural myocardial infarction. Perlinganit was injected in the form of 0.1% solution by means of a drug-dosing apparatus (DDA-1). The drug infusion lasted 51.1 +/- 4.8 h on the average, the mean infusion rate was 74.5 +/- 3.4 micrograms/min. After 24 hours it was required that in 32 patients the mean infusion rate be increased 1.5-fold. The hemodynamics was assessed with the aid of tetrapolar chest rheography. Well-defined clinical and hemodynamic effects were revealed. In some patients, the clinical signs of left ventricular insufficiency could be eliminated. Contractile function of the left ventricle returns to normal within the first hours of disease. During perlinganit treatment, the antianginal and antiarrhythmic effects were recorded. The data obtained point to the fact that the use of perlinganit for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction is advisable. |
