Abstract:
A total of 620 patients with acute myocardial infarction were followed up in order to assess the efficacy of antihypoxants as a component of intensive care. 385 of these patients, divided into groups of 20-40 subjects, were administered one of 12 antihypoxants or sessions of hyperbaric oxygenation during the acute period of the disease, the rest were treated traditionally. Analysis of clinical, laboratory, and prognostic values showed the highest protective effect of amtizol, lithium hydroxybutyrate, piracetam, and ubiquinone. Cytochrome C, riboxine, mildronate, and olifen were somewhat less active, and solcoseryl, bemitil, trimethasidine, and aspisol were the least effective. The protective potentialities of standard sessions of hyperbaric oxygenation were virtually null. The author proposes a parameter D, reflecting the difference between actual and predicted mortality, and the rating (score) system for assessing the routine laboratory diagnostic tests to be used together with the known criteria for evaluation of the protective effects of antihypoxants in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
