ABSTRACT
A one year experience in the coronary care area is summarized, and arrythmias and other complications of acute myocardial infarction were analysed in 196 patients. The relative rates of acute myocardial infarction in Kuwaitis and expatriates were estimated. They range between 1.4 times [95% confidence interval 0.39 to 6.8; P < 0.05] to 2.5 times [95% confidence interval 1.4 to 4.7; P < 0,05] higher in Kuwaiti males than in expatriates. This is in contrast to females where the relative rate of acute myocardial infarction is 0.69 times [95% confidence interval 0.066 to 12.2; P < 0.05] to 0.85 times [95% confidence interval 0.158 to 4.06; P < 0.05] lower in Kuwaitis than in expatriates. To our knowledge this is the first study dealing with this topic in Kuwait. The present and future status of the coronary unit and the coronary care nurse are discussed. Unsolved problems related to the care of patients and to mortality in myocardial infarction are briefly touched upon
