title: [Myocardial infarct. Dimensions of the problem and its local aspects].
abstract: World statistics of infarction are given in brief from the viewpoints of incidence, mortality and prevalence. The results of analysing admittances for m.i. to the Imperia Hospital in the period 1960-1972 are then reported. The series is considered from the general and local standpoints, with reference to the organizational and welfare problems created by the high number of admittances and their high annual increment.
