Rx anterior MI: The mainstay of treatment of heart attacks including anterior ones are medications. Almost all heart attack patients are treated with Aspirin (81 mg daily), a beta-blocker to slow the heart, a cholesterol medication, and possibly an ace-inhibitor blood pressure medication. For large anterior heart attacks temporary treatment with blood thinners (warfarin) may also be used.

Emergency treatment consists of a primary angioplasty to restore normal blood flow to the heart muscle.
