title: Myocardial infarction.
abstract: A conference on myocardial infarction (MI) was held at the Royal College of Physicians on 6 June 1994, organised by Dr K S Channer. The management of myocardial infarction has changed dramatically in the last few years with the introduction of effective measures to reduce early mortality and improve longterm prognosis. The purpose of this conference was to review these approaches and determine how they may be introduced into practice. The conference was divided into three sections: preventing myocardial infarction, acute intervention at the time of infarction, and preventing reinfarction.
