Thrombolysis in acute myocardial infarction: a hospital emergency room experience.
Thrombolysis has become a well-established alternative in the management of acute myocardial infarction. The timing of the initiation of thrombolytic agents is important in determining outcomes. There has been great interest in understanding the delays from onset of symptoms to the initiation of thrombolysis. The experience at Wishard Memorial Hospital in Indianapolis was monitored and reviewed for comparison to other metropolitan area experiences.
