ISIS-3: a randomised comparison of streptokinase vs tissue plasminogen activator vs anistreplase and of aspirin plus heparin vs aspirin alone among 41 299 cases of suspected acute myocardial infarction

Abstract

41,299 patients entering 914 hospitals up to 24 h (median 4 h) after the onset of suspected acute myocardial infarction were randomised between streptokinase (SK: 1.5 MU infused over about 1 h), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA, duteplase: 0.60 MU/kg infused over about 4 h), or anisoylated plasminogen-streptokinase activator complex (APSAC), anistreplase: 30 U over about 3 min). All patients were to receive aspirin (162 mg/day enteric-coated), …
