title: [Intravenous streptokinase treatment of acute myocardial infarction. I. Effect of the treatment on the course of infarction and the patency of the artery supplying the infarction area].
abstract: 128 consecutive patients with a first myocardial infarction, admitted within 4 hours after the onset of an angina pain, were divided into two groups according to the history of the peptic ulcer. Group I (with a negative history, n = 72) received intravenously 1,000,000 units of streptokinase followed by intravenous heparin infusion for 5-7 days. Group II (with a positive history, n = 56) was the control one. In hospital mortality was 2.8% in group I and 5.3% in group II (N. S.). Coronarography performed during second or third week of hospitalization revealed the patency of a coronary artery supplying an infarcted region twice as frequent in group I than in group II (78% vs 41%, p less than 0.001). Percentage of patients with the early serum peak of CKMB activity (from 8 to 12 hours from the start of therapy) suggesting early recanalization of a coronary artery supplying an infarcted region was significantly higher in group I (44.7% and 70.1%) than in group II (7.8% and 19.5%). Both differences between groups were significant (p less than 0.001). Early serum peak of CKMB activity (from 8 to 12 hours from start of treatment) was stated respectively in 46.5% and 81.4% of patients of group I in which subsequent coronarography revealed the patency of a coronary artery supplying the infarcted region.
