| Abstract | ||
| This study is done to evaluate the effect of thrombolytic therapy in acute M.I utilizing a non-invasive method (i.e. ECG). Forty-five patients with acute Q-wave M.I whose ECG shows ST- segment elevation were given thrombolytic therapy. The sum of S-T segment elevation in 12-leads ECG were estimated prior to thrombolytic therapy, 2 hours later, and 24 hours after thromblytic treatment. Resolution of S-T elevation after thrombolytic therapy is taken as a parameter of efficacy of thrombolysis in these patients. Time of presentation (i.e. the time interval from the onset of chest pain until giving thrombolytic therapy) appeared as the most important factor in the response to thrombolysis. | ||
