How effective is the medicine 'Angioprim' for heart patients with heavy blockades ?

Hi Zam Zam.......The effectiveness of this particular drug, would have to weighed against other treatments this patient is receiving. It is a great medication for "post heart caths",,,IF they have a stent placed in one of the coronary arteries. If this patient is on a Swa-Ganz....doing reading of his "Preload" and his '"Afterload" before administration of any kind, will give you a good idea as to a baseline measurement before usage of Angioprim. Is this patient on a "Balloon Pump"....does he take any diuretics, Is he on blood thinners of any kind? Is this patient on a Dopamine drip.....? There are so many things to take into account because each patient is different.
