RODULFO GARCIA, Maikel et al. Algorithm for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in the postoperative period of coronary bypass surgery. MEDISAN [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.4, pp.738-741. ISSN 1029-3019.

Acute myocardial infarction in the postoperative period of coronary bypass surgery is a serious complication due to the high mortality it causes. Its diagnosis is essentially clinical, enzymatic and echocardiographic, reason why it should be early established, because the success of therapy and patient outcomes depend on that; therefore, it is of paramount importance to have a guide to get information and to reduce the time required for this. An easily applicable diagnostic algorithm is presented, developed in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of "Saturnino Lora Torres" Provincial Teaching Clinical Surgical Hospital of Santiago de Cuba, in order to reduce the time of definition of the disease, which can be used in the rest of centers of the country.

Keywords : coronary bypass surgery; acute myocardial infarction; postoperative period; diagnosis; algorithm.
