Research

Trial have found that, Sulfinpyrazone taken in specific daily dose immediately following a patient having suffered from a myocardial infarction seem to drastically reduce the incidence of sudden death by as much as 43% and cardiac mortality by 32% in the 24 months following their heart attack. ^[2]
