[The evaluation of the hemodynamic effects of captopril one year after a myocardial infarct].
In the present study, the authors evaluate the haemodynamic effects of continuous captopril therapy during one-year after a first anterior myocardial infarction (MI). Haemodynamic measurements are made during the first 48 hours after de MI and repeated one year later. Patients are divided in two groups: The first group had therapy with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and isosorbide dinitrate (ISDNI) and the second group had therapy with ASA, ISDNI and captopril. From their results the authors conclude that captopril helps peripheral resistances elevations, and that this is one of the mechanisms by which it can have a favourable effect after an anterior MI.
