Abstract
The management and nursing care of patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction has changed dramatically over the past decade. With the establishment of coronary care units offering facilities for cardiac monitoring and staffed with nurses holding a post-basic diploma in intensive nursing, the prevention or effective treatment of life-threatening arrhythmias became feasible and many have survived as a result of this intensive and skilled care.

Summary
Die behandeling en versorging van pasiënte wat aan akute miokardinfarksie ly, het die afgelope dekade opvallend verbeter.
