Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Nurses play a strategic role in initial care, often being the first professional to perform a clinical assessment of the patient. This research is an integrative review of published studies investigating the role of nurses in AMI care in in-hospital emergency services in Brazil. Critical analysis and qualitative synthesis of the studies were performed descriptively. Although nurses have a general understanding of acute myocardial infarction, gaps in recognizing signs and symptoms and in providing initial care are still observed. The lack of clear protocols, specific training, and professional autonomy contributes to these limitations. Investing in ongoing training and strengthening the role of nurses is essential to improve outcomes in the care of patients with AMI.
