[Effectiveness of lidocaine use in the initial period of acute myocardial infarct]

Abstract

The efficiency of variant regimens of lidocaine management of acute myocardial infarction is compared. The need for continuous infusion of the drug throughout the first day of the attack at the rate of 1 mg per minute, and the reduction in the maximum heart rate as well as the incidence, rate and duration of the ventricular tachycardia runs are demonstrated.
