[Myocardial infarction as a work-related occurrence]

Abstract

An accident is a work-related event caused by an external factor. The aim of this work is to present a cause-effect relationship between myocardial infarction and working conditions. An attitude of the Supreme Court to the question of certification highlighting key issues and facilitating the understanding of the problem is also presented. Myocardial infarction as a work-related accident is an issue of both law and medicine, and particularly, occupational medicine that will have to deal and solve this problem in the near future.
