inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) on atherosclerotic events. Background …

Background Survivors of acute myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by heart failure and/or
resulting in left ventricular dysfunction are at heightened risk for subsequent death and …

Treatment of acute myocardial infarction (MI) has been advanced considerably in the past
20 years with the advent of acute reperfusion strategies such as thrombolytic therapy or …
