Abstract
With the aim of reducing myocardial infarction size, isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) was tried in 27 patients of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). There was 11% reduction of infarction size, in the ISDN treated group, in comparison to that of non treated group, though the result was not statistically significant. But, many of the in-hospital complications were significantly less in the treated group. After a critical analysis of the result it was concluded that a statistically insignificant result, as regard reduction of infarction size in AMI, cannot always exclude the utility of a drug therapy in AMI.
