NUNEZ MARTINEZ, Jorge Félix et al. Complications in the precocious evolution of the aute myocardial infarct at the Intensive Care Unit. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2009, vol.31, n.5, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1684-1824.

At the Intensive Care Unit of the Military Hospital “Dr Mario Muñoz Monroy” of Matanzas, we performed a study of the patients with diagnostic of Acute Myocardial Infarct that were not treated with thrombolysis presenting complications at some moment of their hospital evolution, during the period from July 2003 to June 2006. Our universe was composed by 113 patients that were characterized through forms designed for that; our results were represented in statistical tables using the percentage as a method, the Chi-square test and the confidential interval when it was required. In the results we determined that electrical complications were the most frequent, and the clinical ones the most lethal, generally presented during the first 24 hours; cardiogenic shock and extensive anterior Acute Myocardial Infarct were the most frequent indexes of bad prognosis. General mortality of the study was 25.7 %.
