[The optimal diagnostic approach in myocardial infarct].
In the submitted review the authors discuss rational criteria for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, indications for thrombolysis, coronarography and possibly PTCA, the method of indirect (non-invasive) assessment of an occluded coronary artery and the most frequent mistakes in the diagnosis of infarction. Essential examinations in the acute stage of myocardial infarction are: case-history, ECG, CK-MB (possibly echocardiography). For indication of thrombolysis of acute PTCA case-history and ECG (or echocardiography) are sufficient. Indications of early coronarography before discharge from hospital: postinfarction angina pectoris, malignant arrhythmia (except on the first day), haemodynamic instability, evidence of myocardial ischaemia (restricted symptoms) during a maximal load before discharge.
