Popis: The present study assessed the value of pretreatment with propranolol to reduce ultimate myocardial infarct size after acute coronary artery occlusion in the primate heart. An experimental group of 8 baboons was administered a 2-mg/kg loading dose of propranolol intravenously over a 20-minute period before coronary occlusion. This regimen resulted in (1) a decrease in heart rate from 104 ± 19 to 73 ± 8 beats/min (mean ± standard deviation) (p
