title: Heart attack guidance for physicians: When to suspect, how to diagnose, what to do?
abstract: Lack of awareness among the first contact physicians is one of the major causes for delay in reperfusion therapy in India. Physicians need not only clear-cut guidance about when to perform an ECG and when to refer a patient but also need to understand the mortality advantage of early intervention as well as medico-legal aspects of this condition.
