  • Title: Adjunctive use of beta-adrenergic blockers, calcium antagonists and other therapies in coronary thrombolysis.
    Author: Becker RC, Gore JM.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 1991 Jan 25; 67(3):25A-31A. PubMed ID: 1671315.
    Abstract:
    The availability of thrombolytic agents for use in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction is an important step in the management of a common, often debilitating, and potentially lethal disorder. However, despite the proven benefits of coronary thrombolysis, the importance of adjunctive treatment modalities is being increasingly recognized. Beta-adrenergic blockers, calcium antagonists, nitrates, magnesium, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors each exert favorable cardiovascular properties that may offer additional benefits. Clinical trials combining thrombolytic and adjunctive pharmacologic agents offer hope for further advances in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction.
