Description:... The introduction of mobile coronary care to Belfast in 1966 was a milestone in the history of cardiology. Over the intervening years much information and experience has been acquired in Belfast and elsewhere which has served to confirm the life-saving capacity of pre-hospital cardiac care schemes.**This symposium presents an account of the different types of systems which have been developed to suit the specific needs of communities in Northern Ireland and North America. Future prospects in the early management of myocardial infarction are also discussed, particularly in the light of new therapeutic developments.
