[The main reasons for late diagnosis and errors in the early period of treatment of intrahospital myocardial infarction in a general hospital].

The purpose of the study was to investigate the reasons for late diagnosis and late transfer of hospitalized patients with myocardial infarction (MI) to a specialized cardiological department. The study shows that the main reasons are an atypical clinical picture of MI and a low "infarct alert" of doctors of different specialties. The authors analyzed the fullness of urgent medical aid and the beginning of treatment in cases of intrahospital MI in patients being treated in different hospital departments. The analysis revealed the main objective and subjective factors that cause a low frequency of administration of thrombolytics, anticoagulants, and disaggregants.
