[Role of thrombolytic therapy in the treatment of patients with unstable angina].

Abstract

Thrombolytic therapy (TT) was performed in 39 of 81 patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) resistant to conventional treatment. TT was found to improve prognosis of UAP, to quicken UAP stabilization. Predictors of UAP unfavorable course were discovered. TT is indicated in patients suffering from resistant UAP with markers of poor prognosis.
