A importância da atuação da enfermagem na promoção, prevenção e tratamento do Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio (IAM)

Abstract

Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) is one of the leading causes of global mortality and is associated with various modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Nursing plays a key role in health promotion, prevention, emergency care, and rehabilitation of these patients. This study, through a literature review, highlights the application of the Nursing Process (NP) as a fundamental tool for organizing care for patients with AMI, encompassing the stages of assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The results show that proper use of the NP enables effective interventions, improves the quality of care, and contributes to better clinical outcomes. Continuous professional training is essential to ensure patient safety and high-quality care.
