Knowledge and Practices of Generalist and Specialist Physicians Regarding Drug Therapy for Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Internists and family practitioners are less aware of or less certain about key advances in the treatment of myocardial infarction than are cardiologists. This finding underscores the need to improve the dissemination of information from clinical trials to generalist physicians, particularly if they are to have an enlarged role in the evolving health care system.
