| الوصف: | r, ng th Aims To identify, without additional investigation, a large group of myocardial infarction patients at low risk who would qualify for early discharge. 1 month. The median duration of hospital stay for all in-hospital survivors was 7 days compared to 10 days in the control group. Conclusion Prospective application of the early dischargeIntroduction Management of patients with acute myocardial infarc-tion continues to evolve. Early reperfusion therapy limits infarct size, preserves left ventricular function and thus reduces post-infarction complications such as heart failure, secondary (late) ventricular fibrillation and death[1,2]. Early discharge of infarct patients is cost effective, and may be beneficial for physical as well as psychological betterment. A first step towards a reduction in hospital stay was made in 1952 by Levine and Lown with the introduction of ‘armchair treatment’[3]. At that time, early mobilization and rehabilitation of the infarct patient was of particular interest, not the early discharge policy itself. During the following decades, the hospital stay of patients with myocardial infarction has been reduced gradually from an average of more than 6 to less than 2 weeks. Nowadays patients are mobilized within 24 h and early discharge management is of major interest compared with early mobilization. In selected myocardial infarction survivors, discharge on day 3 may be an option, for instance in the presence of proven reperfusion and negative thallium exerciseEuropean Heart Journal (2000) 21, 992–999 doi:10.1053/euhj.1999.1943, available online at |
