The effect of verapamil on major events in patients with impaired cardiac function recovering from acute myocardial infarction. The Danish Study Group on Verapamil in Myocardial Infarction.

Abstract:

:In the Danish Verapamil Infarction Trial II (DAVIT II) intervention with verapamil significantly decreased the first major event rate (i.e. reinfarction or death) in patients recovering from acute myocardial infarction. As calcium channel antagonists might have a detrimental effect in patients with heart failure, the effect of verapamil on major events in patients with and without impaired left ventricular function was analysed. Eight hundred and seventy-eight patients were randomized to verapamil 120 mg t.i.d. and 897 to placebo. Patients were followed up to 18 months. The endpoint was the first major event while on trial medication. In patients treated for heart failure during the acute phase of myocardial infarction, the lowest 18-month event rate was seen in the verapamil group (21.2% vs 22.2%) (absolute numbers: events/patients verapamil 47/291; placebo 60/323) (ns). Similarly, in patients treated with diuretics at randomization, the lowest 18-month event rate was seen in those randomized to verapamil (22.4 vs 24.3%) (absolute numbers: events/patients verapamil 57/349; placebo 76/375 (ns). When patients were subdivided according to New York Heart Association functional classes, verapamil reduced the event rate in all classes, but none of these differences was statistically significant. In patients without heart failure during the acute phase and in patients without diuretic treatment at randomization, treatment with verapamil caused a significant reduction in major events (hazard ratio (95% confidence limits): 0.66 (0.47, 0.92); 0.66 (0.45, 0.96) respectively). Long-term treatment with verapamil after acute myocardial infarction caused a significant reduction in major events.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
