Some 262 general practitioners in the Belfast area were asked to complete a questionnaire about their attitudes and practice regarding the management of myocardial infarction at home. Of the 211 responders, only nine per cent would sometimes consider home care for patients under 65 years of age, although 55 per cent would sometimes consider home care for those over 65 years and three per cent preferred home management for this age group. In the year preceding this study, seven per cent of these general practitioners treated only 22 myocardial infarction patients under 65 years of age at home (two per cent of all cases in the area). Home care for myocardial infarction patients appears to be less popular in Belfast than in other parts of the United Kingdom. The views of the general practitioners concerning home care are discussed.
贝尔法斯特地区约262名全科医生被要求填写一份关于他们对心肌梗死患者居家管理的态度及做法的调查问卷。在211名回复者中，只有9%的人有时会考虑对65岁以下患者进行居家护理，而55%的人有时会考虑对65岁以上患者进行居家护理，3%的人更倾向于对这个年龄组进行居家管理。在这项研究之前的一年里，这些全科医生中7%的人仅在家中治疗了22名65岁以下的心肌梗死患者（占该地区所有病例的2%）。心肌梗死患者的居家护理在贝尔法斯特似乎不如在英国其他地区受欢迎。文中讨论了全科医生对居家护理的看法。
