Heart attack guidance for physicians: When to suspect, how to diagnose, what to do?

K K Aggarwal et al. Indian Heart J. 2017 Apr.

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.
