Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) has emerged as a major public health issue both in Brazil and globally. It has a considerable morbidity and lethality rate. The primary aim was to carry out a brief investigation of the literature on emergency interventions in individuals suspected of suffering an AMI, as well as factors associated with pre-hospital delay in deciding to seek medical attention and in arriving at an emergency medical service after the onset of symptoms. The research took the form of a thorough literature review, which was conducted on platforms such as LILACS, SCIELO, PUBMED, BVS, among others. The journals were selected between June and September 2023. The descriptors used included: "Emergency", "Patient care" and "Cardiac ischemia". After applying the inclusion criteria, 30 studies remained. In the case of individuals affected by AMI, whose demand for intervention becomes urgent, primary care implies emergency procedures aimed at preventing the condition from progressing to a more severe stage, which could culminate in fatalities. It follows, then, that immediate intervention in patients suspected of having a sudden cardiac muscle aneurysm is a key aspect of the patient's prognosis, since proper assessment, agile diagnosis and the start of appropriate therapy have the potential to mitigate the damage caused by this clinical manifestation.
