Abstract
In a prospective, randomized open trial, significantly higher patency rates were observed 60 minutes after beginning fibrinolytic therapy fo r acute myocardial infarction after administration of 3 million U stre ptokinase as compared to 1.5 million U (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Inf arction [TIMI] grade 2 and 3 in 52% vs 26%; p = 0.04). Adverse events were observed with similar frequency in both groups.
