Abstract
In the broadest sense, current hospital therapy of acute myocardial infarction attempts to prevent, or promptly and effectively treat, the electrical and mechanical consequences of regional myocardial ischemia or infarction, while preserving jeopardized ischemic myocardium. Prevention and effective therapy of arrhythmias have largely been realized through the development of coronary-care units. The goals of prompt and effective therapy of disordered cardiac function and preservation of ischemic muscle, although far from achieved, have been greatly advanced in the past several years by the widespread use of hemodynamic monitoring. As a result, new concepts concerning the disease itself and new therapies have . . .Keywords
