Thrombolytic Therapy: A New Strategy for the Treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction

Laffel, Glenn L., Braunwald, Eugene·1984·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

WITH the introduction of coronary-care units in the 1960s and the ability to prevent and treat lethal arrhythmias, the mortality from acute myocardial infarction was reduced for the first time. Failure of the cardiac pump subsequently emerged as the principal cause of in-hospital death in patients with myocardial infarction. Unfortunately, the present treatment of pump failure with positive inotropic and vasoactive agents and with circulatory-assist devices has not improved the prognosis any further. In the late 1960s, it was thought that mortality from pump failure might be reduced by attempts to limit the quantity of jeopardized myocardium destined to undergo . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
