Journal ArticleDOI

An international randomized trial comparing four thrombolytic strategies for acute myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: The findings of this large-scale trial indicate that accelerated t-PA given with intravenous heparin provides a survival benefit over previous standard thrombolytic regimens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prophylactic Use of an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator After Acute Myocardial Infarction

TL;DR: Prophylactic ICD therapy does not reduce overall mortality in high-risk patients who have recently had a myocardial infarction, and is associated with a reduction in the rate of death due to arrhythmia, that was offset by an increase in the rates of death from nonarrhythmic causes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Significance of smoking in patients receiving thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction. Experience gleaned from the International Tissue Plasminogen Activator/Streptokinase Mortality Trial.

TL;DR: It is indicated that smokers receiving thrombolytic therapy after acute myocardial infarction have significantly better hospital and 6-month outcome than nonsmokers or ex-smokers and strenuous efforts should be made to decrease the incidence of new and continued smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variations in Patient Management and Outcomes for Acute Myocardial Infarction in the United States and Other Countries: Results From the GUSTO Trial

TL;DR: No significant evidence for a differentially greater benefit of accelerated rt-PA over streptokinase was found in US vs non-US patients, however, increased procedure and treatment use in the United States was associated with only a small decrease in short-term mortality.
