A comparison of reteplase with alteplase for acute myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND Reteplase (recombinant plasminogen activator), a mutant of alteplase tissue plasminogen activator, has a longer half-life than its parent molecule and produced superior angiographic results in pilot studies of acute myocardial infarction. In this large clinical trial, we compared the efficacy and safety of these two thrombolytic agents. METHODS A total of 15,059 patients from 807 h...
متن کاملPlatelet function during and after thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction with reteplase, alteplase, or streptokinase.
BACKGROUND Changes in platelet aggregation (PA) and platelet surface receptor expression induced by thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction may influence the rate of initial reperfusion and early reocclusion. METHODS AND RESULTS In the RAPID-1 (Reteplase Angiographic Phase II International Dose-finding study), RAPID-2 (Reteplase vs Alteplase Patency Investigation During myocardia...
متن کاملRapid Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction
To improve the specificity of biochemical markers of myocardial infarction (MI) a method to measure cardiac troponin-I (CTn-I) was developed. CTn-I is a protein unique to cardiac muscle and is released after MI. Consecutive 150 patients admitted to the coronary care unit was studied. Value of CTn-I was determined in all samples. CTn-I concentration in the MI patients group was increased com...
متن کاملClinical trial results with a new plasminogen activator.
Thrombolysis has become an accepted form of therapy for acute myocardial infarction. As demonstrated in the Global Utilization of Streptokinase and t-PA for Occluded Arteries trial, early, complete and sustained patency of the infarct-related coronary artery is correlated with reduced mortality. However, current thrombolytic regimens are able to achieve such patency within 90 min in only 81% of...
متن کاملSustained Coronary Artery Patency During Acute Myocardial Infarction Results of a Randomized Trial
Background Aortic counterpulsation has been observed to reduce the rate of reocclusion of the infarct-related artery after patency has been restored during acute myocardial infarction in observational studies. To evaluate the benefit-torisk ratio of aortic counterpulsation during the early phase of myocardial infarction, a multicenter randomized clinical trial was performed. Methods and Results...
