Changes in cardiac stroke volume with peripheral vasodilators in patients with myocardial infarction complicated by heart failure

Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate the changes in cardiac stroke volume when peripheral vasodilators were used in the acute period of myocardial infarction complicated by heart failure. We examined 154 patients aged 60-90 years old in the acute period of myocardial infarction complicated by acute heart failure. Patients with arterial hypotension and rhythm disturbances, who required special therapy, as well as those delivered later than 24 h from the onset of the disease were not included in the study.
