The treatment of acute myocardial infarction. 1980

N W Poole, and F W Wilson, and J H Barber

A questionnaire on the management of acute myocardial infarction was sent to 100 randomly selected general practitioners. From the replies received, only 42 provided worthwhile information. The approach to the care and treatment of actual patients and their common complications is discussed and recommendations relating to future audits are made.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008012	Lidocaine	A local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmia agent. Its actions are more intense and its effects more prolonged than those of PROCAINE but its duration of action is shorter than that of BUPIVACAINE or PRILOCAINE.
