In a district general hospital's coronary care unit (CCU) 197 patients with chest pain were admitted over a 6-month period and in 131 an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was confirmed. 67 (51%) were eligible for thrombolytic therapy, on criteria laid down for a trial of streptokinase. Criteria for thrombolysis were not fulfilled in 41 (31%) and 12 patients (9%) had contraindications. These results suggest that around half of all patients with AMI and about one-third of patients presenting with chest pain and admitted to a CCU would be suitable for thrombolytic therapy. These data do not support the view that such therapy may be applicable to only a small minority of patients with AMI.
