Abstract
Eplerenone 25 mg/day significantly reduced all-cause mortality 30 days after randomization (when initiated at a mean of 7.3 days after AMI) in addition to conventional therapy in patients with an LVEF â¤40% and signs of heart failure. Based on its early survival benefit, eplerenone should be administered in the hospital after AMI.
