  • The Göteborg metoprolol trial. Effects on mortality and morbidity in acute myocardial infarction
  • 1983
  • Ingår i: Circulation. - : SRDS. - 1539-3011. ; 67:suppl 1, s. 68-69
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In the Göteborg Metoprolol Trial, 1395 patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction were, on admission, randomly allocated to double-blind treatment, 697 to placebo and 698 to metoprolol (15 mg i.v. + 200 mg/day) for 90 days. During this period, there were 62 deaths in the placebo group (8.9%) and 40 in the metoprolol group (5.7%), a mortality reduction of 36% (p less than 0.03). This effect persisted regardless of age, previous infarction or previous chronic beta blockade. All deaths were classified as cardiovascular. After 3 months, all patients were recommended open treatment with metoprolol, and the difference in mortality between the two groups was maintained after 1 year. Early institution of metoprolol (within 12 hours) influenced infarct development during the first 3 days (infarct diagnosis and indirect measures of infarct size). Metoprolol also reduced the incidence on fatal and nonfatal infarction during the next 4-90 days by 35%. Furthermore, fewer episodes of ventricular fibrillation were recorded in the metoprolol than in the placebo group (six vs 17 patients). The tolerance was judged to be very good. The same percentage of patients (19%) was withdrawn from the blind treatment in the two groups. Fewer patients in the metoprolol group used lidocaine, furosemide and analgesics. We conclude that metoprolol therapy instituted on admission in patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction reduced 3-month mortality and exerted beneficial clinical effects.

  • Goteborg Metoprolol Trial : effects on chest pain
  • 1984
  • Ingår i: American Journal of Cardiology. - : Excerpta Medica, Inc.. - 0002-9149 .- 1879-1913. ; 53:13, s. 32-36

    • The effect of metoprolol on chest pain was compared with that of placebo in all randomized patients. The pain score before and 15 minutes after the injection of trial medication was registered and a reduction in chest pain was observed in the metoprolol group. Increasing chest pain after blind injection was observed in only 16 and 9 patients from the placebo and metoprolol groups, respectively. Comparison with the placebo as well as detailed analysis of clinical data revealed that in these patients the increasing pain could not be explained by coronary spasm evoked by beta-blockade. Similarly, metoprolol did not exhibit any unfavorable effect on the 14 patients who were withdrawn (together with the 28 patients given placebo) from blind treatment due to angina pectoris. Either metoprolol does not induce coronary vasospasm or spasm does not play a role in these patients with definite and suspected acute myocardial infarction as well as unstable angina pectoris. Metoprolol reduced the need for analgesics during the first 4 days and shortened the duration of pain. The effects were similar in patients with early and late treatment, but may depend on initial heart rate, blood pressure and site of infarction.

  • Correlation between enzymatic estimation of infarct size and early mortality rate.
  • 1983
  • Ingår i: British Heart Journal. - : BMJ Group. - 0007-0769. ; 50:6, s. 520-524
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In 585 patients with a first acute myocardial infarction the maximum activity of heat stable lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) was correlated with mortality at three months. The patients participated in a double blind trial with metoprolol in acute myocardial infarction. In all patients not taking a beta blocker a highly significant correlation was found, but this was not evident in those who were. When patients with anterior or inferior infarctions treated with a placebo were analysed separately the correlation remained, as it did when the patients who were alive on the fourth day after the onset of pain were analysed separately. No correlation was observed between enzyme activity and three month mortality in these subgroups if only patients treated with metoprolol were included. In a subsample of only 171 patients it was found that the maximum activity of creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2) and creatine kinase subunit B did not correlate with three month mortality regardless of treatment. Thus it is concluded that when a sufficiently large number of patients are investigated there is a highly significant correlation between the enzymatic estimation of infarct size and early mortality in acute myocardial infarction. This relation did not persist when patients treated with beta blockade were analysed.

  • Development of congestive heart failure after treatment with metoprolol in acute myocardial infarction
  • 1984
  • Ingår i: British Heart Journal. - : BMJ Group. - 0007-0769. ; 51:5, s. 539-544
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In a double blind study of metoprolol in the treatment of suspected acute myocardial infarction 698 patients (study group) received metoprolol and 697 a placebo (control group). Metoprolol was given in an intravenous dose of 15 mg as soon as possible after admission to hospital followed by 50 g by mouth four times a day for two days and thereafter 100 mg twice a day for three months. A placebo was similarly given. Congestive heart failure occurred in a similar percentage of patients in both the study (27%) and the control groups (30%). Its severity was estimated by calculating the total dose of frusemide given during the first four days in hospital. Less frusemide was given to patients treated with metoprolol compared with those given a placebo in the total series. An appreciably lower total dose of frusemide was given to patients included in the trial less than or equal to 12 hours after the onset of pain and treated with metoprolol compared with a placebo, while no difference was seen among patients treated later. The initial heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and infarct site affected the results.

  • Effect of metoprolol on chest pain in acute myocardial
  • 1984
  • Ingår i: British Heart Journal. - : BMJ Group. - 0007-0769. ; 51:4, s. 438-444
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A total of 1395 patients aged 40 to 74 years were included in a double blind trial with the beta 1 selective blocker metoprolol in suspected acute myocardial infarction. Metoprolol was given intravenously (15 mg) as soon as possible after admission to hospital followed by 200 mg daily for three months. A placebo was given in the same manner. The severity of chest pain in the acute phase was calculated by recording the number of injections of analgesics given and the time from the start of blind treatment to the time when the last analgesic was given (duration of pain). The patients receiving metoprolol were given a lower mean number of injections of analgesics during the first four days and after randomisation than those receiving a placebo. The estimated duration of pain was shorter in the metoprolol group than in the placebo group. These effects were related to the initial heart rate, the initial systolic blood pressure, and the final site of the infarct as determined electrocardiographically. Thus metoprolol given in the acute phase of suspected or definite myocardial infarction appears to reduce the severity of chest pain.

  • Effect of metoprolol on indirect signs of the size and severity of acute myocardial infarction
  • 1983
  • Ingår i: American Journal of Cardiology. - : Elsevier Excerpta Medica, Inc.. - 0002-9149 .- 1879-1913. ; 51:8, s. 1282-1288

    • In a double-blind randomized trial, 1,395 patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (MI) were investigated to evaluate the possibility of limiting indirect signs of the size and severity of acute MI with the beta1-selective adrenoceptor antagonist metoprolol. Metoprolol (15 mg) was given intravenously and followed by oral administration for 3 months (200 mg daily). Placebo was given in the same way. The size of the MI was estimated by heat-stable lactate dehydrogenase (LD[EC 1.1.1.27]) analyses and precordial electrocardiographic mapping. Lower maximal enzyme activities compared with placebo were seen in the metoprolol group (11.1 ± 0.5 μkat · liter−1)when the patient was treated within 12 hours of the onset of pain (13.3 ± 0.6 μkat · liter−1; n = 936; p = 0.009). When treatment was started later than 12 hours, no difference was found between the 2 groups. Enzyme analyses were performed in all but 20 patients (n = 1,375). Precordial mapping with 24 chest electrodes was performed in patients with anterior wall MI. The final total R-wave amplitude was higher and the final total Q-wave amplitude lower in the metoprolol group than in the placebo group. Patients treated with metoprolol ≤12 hours also showed a decreased need for furosemide, a shortened hospital stay, and a significantly reduced 1-year mortality compared with the placebo group, whereas no difference was observed among patients treated later on. After 3 months, however, there was a similar reduction in mortality among patients in whom therapy was started 12 hours and >12 hours after the onset of pain. The results support the hypothesis that intravenous metoprolol followed by oral treatment early in the course of suspected myocardial infarction can limit infarct size and improve longterm prognosis.

  • Göteborg Metoprolol Trial : mortality and causes of death
  • 1984
  • Ingår i: American Journal of Cardiology. - : Excerpta Medica, Inc.. - 0002-9149 .- 1879-1913. ; 53:13, s. 9-14
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • During the 3-month blind treatment period there were 40 deaths in the metoprolol group compared with 62 deaths in the placebo group (p = 0.024). During the first year (after 3 months the 2 groups were treated similarly) there were 64 deaths in the metoprolol group vs 93 in the placebo group (p = 0.017) and during 2 years 92 patients died in the metoprolol group vs 120 in the placebo group (p = 0.043). The relative incidence of different causes of death did not differ significantly between the 2 treatment groups, indicating that metoprolol reduced all causes of death to the same extent as its effect on overall mortality.

  • Göteborg Metoprolol Trial : design, patient characteristics and conduct
  • 1984
  • Ingår i: American Journal of Cardiology. - : Excerpta Medica, Inc.. - 0002-9149 .- 1879-1913. ; 53:13, s. 3D-8D
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The Göteborg Metoprolol Trial was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, stratified trial aimed at evaluating the effect of the beta 1-selective blocker, metoprolol, in suspected acute myocardial infarction and during 2 years of follow-up. The primary end-point was 3-month mortality (blind treatment period). Secondary end-points were 2-year mortality, indirect signs of infarct size, chest pain, arrhythmias and tolerability. The entry criteria were fulfilled in 2,802 patients, 1,395 of whom were included in the trial. Treatment started as soon as possible after arrival in hospital with intravenous administration followed by oral treatment for 3 months. All patients were randomized 48 hours or less after estimated onset of infarction and 69% were randomized at 12 hours or less. The blind treatment had to be withdrawn in 19% of all randomized patients before the end of the 3-month follow-up.

    • In 1,375 patients serum activity of heat-stable lactate dehydrogenase (LD; E.C.1.1.1.27.) was analyzed every twelfth hour for 48 to 108 hours. The mean maximum LD activity was 11.1 +/- 0.4 mu kat X 1(-1) in the metoprolol group vs 12.4 +/- 0.5 mu kat X 1(-1) in the placebo group (p = 0.054). In patients in whom treatment was started 12 hours or less after the onset of pain, a 17% reduction in LD activity was observed (p = 0.009) and similar results were found in patients randomized 8 hours or less. Groups in which the effect after metoprolol treatment was more pronounced were those with an initially higher heart rate and also those with anterior myocardial infarction.
