Incapacidad laboral por Infarto Agudo de Miocardio (IAM): ¿podrían cambiar nuestros criterios de valoración médica de la incapacidad laboral en la era de la reperfusión miocárdica?. Med. segur. trab.

At present, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a disease with a high degree of morbidity and mortality and it is responsible of a high percentage of work disability. We form a joint team from the medical staff of the Seville Evaluation Unit of the Department of Social Security (INSS) and the clinical management unit from "Virgen Macarena" Health area in Seville. We have analyzed the health and working capacity impact of the Joint Project for the Care of AMI with ST elevation in Seville since January 2011. This project has the following aims: checking the rising reperfusion and primary angioplasties rates, the decline in overall mortality and a significant improvement in left ventricular function in patients who have suffered an AMI. Based on these dates, the majority of the patients who fulfill the project criteria are in a functional group 1 of the INSS medical disability handbook, with normal left ventricular function, good prognosis and low cardiovascular risk. These patients can be able to reinstate their usual working activities, except when certain comorbidity diseases are present.
