Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
ß-blockers are a class of drugs that have been used to treat cardiovascular conditions for several decades. β-blockers reduce mortality when administered after an AMI, and are a class IA indication in this context. What remains unclear is what timing and route of β-blocker administration gives the maximum cardioprotective effect. In particular, whether early β-blocker administration is able to reduce infarct size is a subject of debate. Recent experimental data suggest that the β1 selective blocker metoprolol is able to limit the area of necrosis only when administered before reperfusion.
The objective of this trial is to determine whether the administration of intravenous pre-reperfusion metoprolol might reduce infarct size.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Early metoprolol initiation strategy
Injectable (i.v.) metoprolol tartrate (up to 15 mg).
Patients are randomized to active intervention (early metoprolol initiation strategy) or no treatment (delayed metoprolol initiation strategy).
Patients randomized to early metoprolol initiation strategy receive up to three 5mg i.v. dosages (2 minutes apart) before reperfusion.
Patients randomized to delayed metoprolol initiation strategy receive no active treatment before reperfusion.
Patients in both groups receive oral metoprolol tartrate treatment (25-100mg/12h), starting 12-24 hr post-reperfusion.
Delayed metoprolol initiation strategy
No interventions assigned to this group
