Title: Therapeutic Effect of Milrinone on Heart Failure after Acute Myocardial Infarction
Abstract: Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect and safety of milrinone in treatment of acute myocardial infarction(AM)I patients with severe heart failure.Methods Twenty-eight AMI patients with severe heart failure received intravenous milrinone therapy for 2~4 days [0.375~0.75 mg/(kg.d)].All patients' cardiac function was measured by echocardiography before and after the therapy.Results Compared with baseline values,the cardiac index and ejection fraction were significantly increased from 2.3±0.5 to 2.7±0.6L/(min.m2)(P0.05) and 35±6 to 43±4%(P0.05) respectively after milrinone therapy.No any severe side effects were observed.Conclusion Milrinone is effective and safe in treatment of AMI patients with severe heart failure.
