Acute myocardial infarction diagnosis and treatment following implementation of a multicomponent intervention in Tanzania: the MIMIC pilot trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In Tanzania, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is underdiagnosed, and uptake of evidence-based care is suboptimal. Using an implementation science approach, an intervention was developed to address local barriers to care: the Multicomponent Intervention for Improving Myocardial Infarction Care in Tanzania (MIMIC).

Methods
