title: [Acute myocardial infarct: the problems after discharge in primary care].
abstract: The patients with acute myocardial infarction raise important problems to the primary health care professionals after hospital discharge. We report six patients covering a wide range of problems related with their control ant therapy: from the asymptomatic infarction discovered during a blood pressure control to patients with cardiac failure, postinfarction angina and arrhythmias. Psychosocial problems are also considered. There is a need to encourage secondary prevention activities in these patients, suppressing and/or controlling the existing risk factors.
