Role of Oxytocin in Myocardial Infarction

Summary

60 patients admitted to this ICCU at the Sheba medical Center will be randomly divided in to 2 groups. one group will receive the conventional treatment while the second group will receive the conventional treatment plus oxytocin infusion for 48 hours. all participants will undergo echo and cMRI during hospitalization.
