Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 1769 0
Angiographic TIMI-3 (term used to state that blood flow through coronary artery is back to normal) flow at time of angiograghy
Timepoint [1] 1769 0
An Xray -angiogram-is taken of the coronary artery at the start of the procedure to see which arteies are blocked and need an angioplasty or stent and which ones are open and do not require treatment.
Secondary outcome [1] 3116 0
Angiographic patency and infarct size measured at time of angiography.(An Xray- angiogram- is taken of the coronary artery at the start of the procedure to see which arteies are blocked and need an angioplasty or stent and which ones are open and do not require treatment).
Timepoint [1] 3116 0

Summary
Brief summary
To assess if the early use of verapamil and Glyceryl trinitrate improves TIMI 3 flow(term used to state that blood flow through coronary artery is back to normal)Only the study pharmacist was unblinded to treatment allocation. Study drug was sealed in a box and allocated a number in lots of 10. Study staff would allocate the sealed box to the patient by number sequence. All study personel and persons involved in the clinical management of the patient were also blinded to treatment allocation.Emergency unblinding was available if required.
