RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Hospital-treated myocardial infarction and the general practitioner JF The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners JO J R Coll Gen Pract FD British Journal of General Practice SP 654 OP 659 VO 26 IS 170 A1 Richard Mayou A1 Ann Foster A1 Barbara Williamson YR 1976 UL http://bjgp.org/content/26/170/654.abstract AB Patients who had a myocardial infarction were interviewed with their spouses in hospital and after returning home. Advice about rehabilitation, such as that recently recommended by the Working Party of the Royal College of Physicians, was often not received. General practitioners have great opportunities for organising a graded programme of rehabilitation and may often communicate ideas more easily to their patients than hospital staff. However, some practitioners are reluctant to do this work.
