  • Title: Acute heart failure in myocardial infarction: principles of treatment.
    Author: Perret C.
    Journal: Crit Care Med; 1990 Jan; 18(1 Pt 2):S26-9. PubMed ID: 2403511.
    Abstract:
    Congestive heart failure after acute myocardial infarction can extend the area of infarction by worsening the oxygen supply-demand balance. Appropriate treatment requires insight into this pathophysiologic condition and knowledge of the effects of the various therapies available. Understanding of the role of vasodilating and inotropic agents and of mechanical interventions such as ventilation with PEEP is an important aspect of treatment.
