36 þeir notað setstól til að hægja sér. Við komu er strax sett plastnál í æð og sjúk- lingurinn tengdur við rafsjá. Lyf gegn hjartsláttaróreglu eru notuð eftir klinisku mati hverju sinni, sömuleiðis digitalis, þvagræsilyf og lyf gegn losti. Blóðþynning hefur að jafnaði verið not- uð, hafi ekki verið sérstök ástæða til ann- ars og hefur hún verið hafin með Hepar- ini, cn síðan haldið áfram með Dicumaroli. Alls hafa 375 sjúklingar verið meðhöndl- aðir með blóðþynningu og þarf að athug- ast í þvi sambandi, að 53 sjúklinganna eru yfir áttrætt og 211 sjúklingar yfir sjötugt. Annars hefur aldurinn einn ekki verið af- gerandi fyrir blóðþynningarmeðferð og ekki föst mörk sett, er ekki megi víkja frá. Undanfarin ár hefur bað orðið sjaldnar, að blóðþynningu hafi verið haldið áfram við útskrift eða þá ekki nema til nokkurra mánaða, en ekki liggja fyrir tölur um þetta. NIÐURSTAÐA. 1. Sjúklingum með kransæðastíflu á Landakotsspítala hefur fjölgað jafnt og þétt á þessu 10 ára tímabili. 2. Karlmönnum hefur fjölgað meira en konum. 3. Flestir karlmenn eru á aldrinum 60—69 ára. Konur 70—79 ára. 4. Árangur meðferðar við bráða kransæða- stíflu á íslenzkum spítölum er sambæri- legur við erlenda spítala. 5. Gæzla þessara sjúklinga var það góð áður, að sérstakar gjörgæzlu- eða hjartagæzludeildir hafa ekki breytt miklu þar um. SUMMARY. Landakotsspítali, Reykjavik. is a 180 bed General Hospital with Medical, Surgical, Opt- halmic and Pediatric (30 beds) Services. As such, it takes turns with 2 other hospitals for one week out of every three, in admitting acutely ill patients from the whole country with a population of around 220 thousand. An Intensive Care Unit was opened in the hosoital in 1971. In this study are reviewed cases of acute mvocardial infarction seen in the hosnital over a 10 year period (1966—1975). The diagnostic criteria us"d are standard in the litterature (i 6 10 13) plus autopsy. T» shouid be noted that the hospital keeps n. common diagnostic file and the study includes natients in all departments and not onlv t.hose 'o th" Medical D°nartment. Inchided are there- fore people, who were admitted for surgical reasons and who died suddenly without having had any indication of coronary artery disease. Also included are several old nursing- care patients who were initially admitted for a variety of reasons other than myocardial in- farction. Patients, dead on arrival, are included if cardiac rcsuscitation was tried. Demonstrative case histories are given. The figures and tables are mostly self-explanatory. Table I, shows the death rate increase with increasing age. Fifty three patients were over 80 years old and more than 50% of them died. The death rate for the whole group was 22,1%. There was no change in death rate for 5 years before and after opening of the intensive care unit. HEIMILDIR: 1. Astvad, K, o.fl.
