TIMI II-B

TIMI IIB compared the effects of an invasive vs. conservative strategy following thrombolysis with rtPA among patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction, and the effect of immediate vs. delayed (6 days) metoprolol therapy among patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction treated with rtPA (a substudy of the TIMI II trial).

MAIN RESULTS:
Immediate versus deferred beta-blockade following thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Results of the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) II-B Study.
