[When to discharge a patient after myocardial infarct].
The evidence suggest that its possible on the fourth day after myocardial infarction to identify a group of patients with near-zero mortality during the next 14 days. These patients can leave hospital on the fifth day if adequate home care is available. Since 66 of our series of 255 patients belonged to this fortunate group, a notable cost reduction was achieved.
