Popis: Clinical effects of thrombolytic agent SM-9527 (double-chain tissue plasminogen activator) on left ventricular (LV) function were assessed in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). A dose of 30 x 10(6) IU SM-9527 was given intravenously to patients with AMI within 6 h after onset. Of 159 candidates, 20 were excluded from the trial due to diseases other than myocardial infarction or failure to meet the protocol requirements; 114 of the remaining 139 were subjected to LV function analysis. The following results were obtained: (1) Patients with successful reperfusion in response to SM-9527 in the acute stage without later reocclusion revealed a significant improvement of LV function in the chronic stage. (2) Adverse effects were noted in 15 patients (10.8%), but none were serious; all were bleeding related to catheterization. (3) Hemagglutination fibrinolysis system test revealed no problems. It is concluded that early thrombolytic therapy with intravenous SM-9527 for AMI provides significant improvement of LV function in the chronic stage.
