[Ulterior observations on the use of C3 in acute myocardial infarction: 105 patients were treated within the 1st 6 hours after the symptoms started]. / Observaciones ulteriores sobre el uso del C3 en el infarto miocárdico agudo: 105 pacientes tratados a las seis horas del comienzo de los sintomas

ABSTRACT

Two homogeneous groups of patients with acute myocardial infarction were observed within the first six hours from the coronary attack. On admittance and for ten days, 105 patients were treated with C3 the mortality rate resulted in 13.3%. The control group of 108 patients showed a mortality of 18.5%. Strict criteria of randomization were followed in allocating patients to the two groups. Although the difference is not statistically significant it is however interesting since it confirms a previous research. Statistically significant differences between the two groups were observed in all surviving patients in the injury signs regression time and in the cardiac volume in favour of the group treated with C3.
