Abstract:
:Fifty three of the 5778 patients included in the MIAMI (Metoprolol in Acute Myocardial Infarction) trial were investigated with long-term ECG recordings in order to evaluate the effect of acute beta-blockade on premature ventricular complexes in and after acute myocardial infarction. Twenty five patients were given placebo and 28 metoprolol in a double-blind randomized fashion for 15 days. After this period the patients were put on open beta-blockade without breaking individual study codes. The mean number of premature ventricular complexes during the inclusion day (day 0) was the same in the two groups. The median numbers were also similar in the two groups: 190 and 154 in the placebo and metoprolol groups, respectively. Metoprolol significantly reduced the median number of premature ventricular complexes in the randomized period. The median numbers on days 1, 2 and 15 were 146, 101, 84 in the placebo group and 73, 59 and 10 in the metoprolol group, respectively (P less than 0.05). Also during the further follow-up, when investigated 1, 3 and 6 months after the infarction, the median number of premature ventricular complexes was lower in the metoprolol group (74, 257, 142 in the placebo group and 7, 5 and 11 in the metoprolol group, P less than 0.05). This indicates that metoprolol treatment in the acute phase of myocardial infarction reduces ventricular arrhythmias both in the early stage and also after the acute event.
