abstract: The aim of the study was the analysis of prehospital death rate caused by AMI depending on sex, age and place of habitation in an agricultural-industrial region. Prehospital death rate resulting from AMI reached 34.6% (32.8% men and 39.3% women). 30.4% of patients died before obtaining medical help.
