Cardiovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death in Brazil, responsible for almost 32% of all deaths. Furthermore, they are the third biggest cause of hospitalizations in the country. Among them, acute myocardial infarction is still one of the biggest causes of morbidity and mortality. Despite therapeutic advances in recent decades, heart attacks still have significant mortality rates and most patients do not receive adequate treatment. The advent of Coronary Units and the introduction of reperfusion treatment with fibrinolytics or primary angioplasty were fundamental in reducing mortality and complications related to the disease. Important beneficial effects of current treatment include reduced ventricular dysfunction and better control of arrhythmias. The need for early reperfusion is crucial for the good prognosis of myocardial infarction. The objective of this review is to emphasize basic current concepts regarding the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of acute myocardial infarction, in accordance with national and international guidelines.
