- Abstract
Background: Cardiovascular diseases, specifically acute myocardial infarction (AMI), are the leading cause of death worldwide. In this review, we explain the characteristics of AMI in Iran. Methods: We searched PubMed, Google, and Google Scholar for articles containing myocardial infarction, STEMI, and MI+ Iran in English and Persian words. Results: The age-standardized incidence rate of MI was 73.3 per 100 000. The mean±SD age of patients was 61.20±13.40 years. In-hospital mortality of patients with AMI in the IMIR was 12.1%. Concerning AMI complications reported in the IMIR, 5.8% of patients experienced ventricular tachycardia, and 2.5% experienced ventricular fibrillation. The 1-year mortality rate in the IPACE2 study was 4.3%. Conclusion: Only a few national studies are available in Iran regarding patients with AMI. A federal surveillance program continuously monitoring and tracking coronary events is essential to improve the general population's health.
