More patients are getting life-saving treatment quickly after a heart attack, according to a national survey. An audit by the Royal College of Physicians showed 64% of patients in England and 41% in Wales were given "clot-busting" drugs within an hour. This is a rise of six percent and 11% respectively over 12 months. Overall, heart attack death rates have fallen, with 12 fewer deaths per 1,000 heart attacks, but the report stressed there was still room for improvement.
