Epidemiological profile of acute myocardial infarction in brazil between 2009 and 2019

Abstract

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a syndrome with classic clinical manifestations, laboratory
evidence of necrosis due to cardiac muscle ischemia, and characteristic changes in the electrocardiogram
(ECG). AMI can be classified into several types according to electrocardiographic, pathophysiological,
clinical, prognostic, and etiological criteria, which is valid because it allows specific and more assertive
interventions to be carried out1.
