[Thrombolytic therapy and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in acute myocardial infarct].
The authors analyze contemporary views on the position of thrombolytic treatment and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in the treatment of acute myocardial infarctions. The justification of different procedures is based on the final effect of treatment on the mortality of patients, on left ventricular function and behaviour of the residual stenosis in different groups of patients. The authors define risk groups of patients which can justify the application of specific therapeutic procedures. In the conclusion they try to define general indications for different types of treatment.
