CPD: Post myocardial infarction care by the GP.
Abstract
Most patients suffering from an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are currently managed by cardiologists or specialist physicians during the acute phase and are then referred back to a family/general practitioner. By the time the FP/GP sees the patient, the patient should be stable and on the necessary medication. Good communication between specialist and FP/GP is critical to avoid any confusion regarding the patient’s condition, risk and further management. This article deals with general aspects of post-myocardial infarction care. (SA Fam Pract 2004;46(10): 44-46)
