The role of anticoagulation in acute myocardial infarction
Cardiol Clin.
1988 Feb.
Abstract
The rule of anticoagulation therapy in the setting of an acute myocardial infarction has been debated for decades. The role of such therapy in reducing mortality, preventing deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli, and in reducing the frequency of left ventricular thrombus formation and subsequent systemic embolization is discussed.
