Value of emergency cardiac enzymes: audit in a coronary care unit.

F Lewis1, F Jishi, C E Sissons, J T Baker, D F Child.   

Abstract

Medical audit in a district general hospital coronary care unit led to the introduction of an emergency cardiac enzyme service. 91.2% of patients eligible for thrombolysis therapy received treatment following this introduction compared to 73.7% before (P = .05). No patient was treated inappropriately on the basis of a raised cardiac enzyme.
