Abstract
On administering thrombolysis in a prehospital setting, we found a threefol
d increase in the incidence of abortion of myocardial infarction, compared
with the in-hospital program of a nearby hospital. Assessment of aborted my
ocardial infarction may be a better criterion for the efficacy of early thr
ombolysis than mortality data.
