title: [Therapy with nitrates in the post-infarct phase].
abstract: The beneficial effects of nitrates in patients with angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction have positively influenced the prognosis of the treated patients. Studies of Jugdutt pointed out that there is a better prognosis also in the postinfarction period. Especially left ventricular over dilatation, which follows larger infarct, can be prevented by a consistent nitrate therapy.
