Introduction And Objectives: It is vital that obstruction of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is diagnosed early. We investigated the value of ST-segment and QRS-complex vector analysis in identifying LMCA obstruction in acute coronary syndrome.
Methods: The study involved 57 consecutive patients with electrocardiographic features suggestive of LMCA obstruction.
The objective of this case report was to document a rare case of myocardial damage, in the context of an accidental inhalation of chloramines, demonstrated by electrocardiogram and myocardium-specific enzymes.

Method: Ninety consecutive patients who were admitted to the coronary unit with acute anterior myocardial infarction from July 1998 to May 2000 were studied retrospectively. The electrocardiographic changes were analyzed and correlated with the site of the lesion in the anterior descending artery, as determined by coronary angiography.
Introduction And Objectives: The impact of acute myocardial infarction in labour activity changes from one country to another as well as patients' characteristics. Our purpose was aimed to learn the main demographic, professional, clinical and therapeutic variables which might affect the return to work after suffering a myocardial infarction in our environment.
Methods: 584 patients treated consecutively in our Coronary Unit for 4 years, aged under 65, were studied.
