Procainamide, oxprenolol and amiodarone as antidysrhythmic drugs in myocardial infarction.
Using Holter recordings and based on the principle that most of the survivors of acute myocardial infarction who are going to die suddenly after hospital discharge are those who present ventricular premature beats (VPB), the authors have studied the ...
