Palavras-chave:
Acute myocardial infarction, Primary health care, Early recognition.Resumo
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a leading cause of mortality in Brazil, necessitating swift interventions to minimize myocardial damage and save lives. Primary health care plays a crucial role in early AMI recognition, yet faces significant challenges in identifying its signs and symptoms due to structural and educational factors.
This study aims to analyze and propose strategies to enhance early AMI recognition in Brazilian primary care, providing evidence-based solutions to improve detection and initial management.
A systematic literature review was conducted in SciELO and PubMed databases using descriptors: acute myocardial infarction, primary health care, early recognition, and Brazil. Articles from the past five years focusing on AMI recognition strategies in primary care were included.
