Inpatient cardiology in a rural district general hospital. 1987

J A Tulloch

The pattern of cardiac admissions to a rural district general hospital has been analysed. Coronary artery disease is the major disorder, both as an acute and chronic problem. Other forms of heart disease are relatively uncommon. The absence of hypertension and hypertensive heart disease is striking. The deaths were mainly related to coronary artery disease.
