Abstract
As part of the Royal College of General Practitioners' myocardial infarction study, 776 general practitioners in Britain supplied information about the management (including the use of thrombolysis) of 2495 patients suspected of having a myocardial infarction. The patients were recruited from March 1991 to September 1992. We examined the use of thrombolysis in hospital among the 1094 patients who had a myocardial infarction that had been confirmed by a hospital and who had no contraindication to thrombolysis.
