title: Rapid diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
abstract: At present the ideal method for the very early and very rapid diagnosis of acute infarction is still elusive, making it difficult to implement strategies in large numbers of patients. With further research and conjoint biochemical and imaging approaches, however, it is likely that the early diagnosis of infarction and detection of ischemia will be possible.
