Health: In Case Of Attack...
A study of heart-attack patients in Denmark suggests that emergency angioplasties work so much better than anticlotting drugs that the wait for a hospital transfer is often worthwhile. The study, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, followed 1,129 patients. Of those treated with the drugs, 14% died or had another heart attack or a disabling stroke. The figure was 8% for those transferred within 2 hours to a different hospital for angioplasty.
