O estudo teve como objetivo identificar a percepção da enfermeira frente ao atendimento ao paciente com suspeita de Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio (IAM). Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório, realizado na Unidade de Pronto Atendimento do município de Pedro Leopoldo (MG).  Fizeram parte do estudo onze enfermeiros. Emergiram categorias empíricas “A percepção do enfermeiro sobre o reconhecimento do paciente com suspeita de IAM” e “Fatores que interferem na atuação do enfermeiro durante o atendimento ao paciente com suspeita de IAM”. Concluímos que os enfermeiros possuem percepção quanto à importância do reconhecimento precoce dos sinais e sintomas dos pacientes com suspeita de IAM. No entanto, encontram barreiras para realizar esse atendimento. É necessário que se mantenham na busca por capacitação e atualização para continuarem com essa autonomia profissional frente ao paciente com suspeita de IAM, mas espera-se que investimentos sejam feitos pela instituição, visando à melhoria no funcionamento do serviço.Descritores: Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio, Enfermeiro, Assistência. Perception of nurse in front of patient with suspected acute myocardial infarctionAbstract: The study aimed to identify the nurse's perception of the care provided to patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study, carried out at the Emergency Care Unit in the city of Pedro Leopoldo (MG). Eleven nurses took part in the study. Empirical categories emerged: “The nurse's perception about the recognition of the patient with suspected AMI” and “Factors that interfere with the nurse's performance during the care of the patient with suspected AMI”. We conclude that nurses are aware of the importance of early recognition of signs and symptoms of patients with suspected AMI. However, they encounter barriers to perform this service. It is necessary to remain in the search for training and updating to continue with this professional autonomy in the face of patients with suspected AMI, but investments are expected to be made by the institution, aiming at improving the service's functioning.Descriptors: Acute Myocardial Infarction, Nurse, Care. Percepción de enfermero delante de pacientes miocardios agudos sospechosoResumen: El estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar la percepción de la enfermera de la atención brindada a los pacientes con sospecha de infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM). Este es un estudio cualitativo, descriptivo y exploratorio, realizado en la Unidad de Atención de Emergencia en la ciudad de Pedro Leopoldo (MG). Once enfermeras participaron en el estudio. Surgieron categorías empíricas: "La percepción de lo enfermero sobre el reconocimiento del paciente con sospecha de IAM" y "Factores que interfieren con el desempeño de la enfermera durante la atención del paciente con sospecha de IAM". Concluimos que los enfermeros son conscientes de la importancia del reconocimiento temprano de los signos y síntomas de pacientes con sospecha de IAM. Sin embargo, encuentran barreras para realizar este servicio. Es necesario permanecer en la búsqueda de capacitación y actualización para continuar con esta autonomía profesional frente a pacientes con sospecha de IAM, pero se espera que la institución realice inversiones, con el objetivo de mejorar el funcionamiento del servicio.Descriptores: Infarto Agudo del Miocardio, Enfermero, Asistencia.

RESUMOObjetivo: analisar as produções científicas a respeito da frequência dos sinais, sintomas e complicações do infarto agudo do miocárdio. Método: revisão integrativa, com busca publicações entre 2010 a 2014 nas bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE e CINAHL. O processo de análise dos 122 artigos selecionados deu-se por meio da leitura exploratória e crítica dos títulos, resumos e dos resultados das pesquisas, onde se buscaram os fenômenos relacionados ao IAM (sinais, sintomas e complicações). Resultados: A dor no peito (N = 75), a insuficiência cardíaca (N = 52), a dispneia (N= 24) e a arritmia (N= 20) foram os sinais e sintomas mais encontrados. Conclusão: a dor no peito é o sintoma mais frequente da doença. O reconhecimento precoce desses fenômenos irá contribuir para a melhoria do prognóstico da pessoa acometida.

Method: integrative review, with search publications between 2010 to 2014, in the databases LILACS, MEDLINE and CINAHL. The process of analysis of the 122 articles selected was based on the exploratory and critical reading of the titles, abstracts and results of the research, in which the AMI-related phenomena (signs, symptoms and complications) were searched. Results: chest pain (N = 75), heart failure (N = 52), dyspnea (N = 24) and arrhythmia (N = 20) were the most common signs and symptoms. Conclusion: chest pain is the most frequent symptom of the disease. The early recognition of these phenomena will contribute to the improvement of the prognosis of the affected person.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) care, and to identify underlying stressors in the German model region for complete AMI registration. The analysis was based on data from the population-based KORA Myocardial Infarction Registry located in the region of Augsburg, Germany. All cases of AMI (n = 210) admitted to one of four hospitals in the city of Augsburg or the county of Augsburg from February 10th, 2020, to May 19, 2020, were included. Patients were divided into three groups, namely pre-lockdown, strict lockdown, and attenuated lockdown period. An additional survey was conducted asking the patients for stress and fears in the 4 weeks prior to their AMI. The AMI rate declined by 44% in the strict lockdown period; in the attenuated lockdown period the rate was 17% lower compared to the pre-lockdown period. The downward trend in AMI rates during lockdown was seen in STEMI and NSTEMI patients, and independent of sex and age. The door-to-device time decreased by 70–80% in the lockdown-periods. In the time prior to the infarction, patients felt stressed mainly due to fear of infection with Sars-CoV-2 and less because of the restrictions and consequences of the lockdown. A strict lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic had a marked impact on AMI care even in a non-hot-spot region with relatively few cases of COVID-19. Fear of infection with the virus is presumably the main reason for the drop in hospitalizations due to AMI.

Abstract Background Shoulder pain (SP) may originate from both musculoskeletal and visceral conditions. Physiotherapists (PT) may encounter patients with life-threatening pathologies that mimic musculoskeletal pain such as Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). A trained PT should be able to distinguish between signs and symptoms of musculoskeletal or visceral origin aimed at performing proper medical referral. Case presentation A 46-y-old male with acute SP lasting from a week was diagnosed with right painful musculoskeletal shoulder syndrome, in two successive examinations by the emergency department physicians. However, after having experienced a shift of the pain on the left side, the patient presented to a PT. The PT recognized the signs and symptoms of visceral pain and referred him to the general practitioner, which identified a cardiac disease. The final diagnosis was acute myocardial infarction. Conclusion This case report highlights the importance of a thorough patient screening examination, especially for patients treated in an outpatient setting, which allow distinguishing between signs and symptoms of musculoskeletal from visceral diseases.
