Burden of late repeat hospitalization in patients undergoing angioplasty or bypass surgery. A long-term (13 years) report from the Lady Davis Carmel Medical Center registry.

abstract：:The early administration of nitrates in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may lower myocardial oxygen demand and increase blood supply to the ischemic myocardium. Actually, nitrates are the drugs most largely used in AMI patients, but no definite proof of their clinical benefits had been reported before GISSI 3 and IS...
