Abstract

1. Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in the United States. Significant numbers of individuals in the work force experience an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) each year. 2. Strategies are available that can be used to facilitate rapid assessment and management of the employee suspected of having AMI. 3. The occupational health nurse can make a significant contribution in reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with AMI through the development of a system for rapid assessment and activation of the emergency medical system.
