The efficacy of streptokinase (STK) thrombolytic therapy was prospectively evaluated in 77 consecutive patients presenting within 9 hours of onset of acute myocardial infarction. Serial left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) was assessed by radionuclide ventriculography, initially (acute) and at 1 month (late). The role of initial LVEF was examined by comparing patients with an acute LVEF greater than or equal to 50% (type I) with those with LVEF less than 50% (type II). Sixty-five patients (84%) had total coronary occlusion and received STK. Initial successful reperfusion was achieved in 34 patients (52%), but repeat angiograms at 10 to 14 days revealed persistent patency in only 27 patients. Within the type I and type II classification, 2 patient subgroups were compared: Group A had successful and persistent thrombolysis and group B had initial failure of thrombolysis or in-hospital reocclusion. There was no significant change in global LVEF in any group from acute to 1 month follow-up: group IA--acute EF = 56 +/- 2% (mean +/- standard error of the mean), late EF = 55 +/- 2% (p = not significant [NS]); group IB--acute EF = 58 +/- 1%, late EF = 55 +/- 2% (NS); group IIA--acute EF = 35 +/- 2%, late EF = 4 +/- 4%, (NS); group II B--acute EF = 36 +/- 2%, late EF = 41 +/- 3% (NS). No patient with an acute EF greater than or equal to 50% died, i.e., group IA patients (n = 7) or group IB patients (n = 13).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
