Objective: To describe the factors associated with the development of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) in patients with COVID-19. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review, with the purpose of gathering and synthesizing results of investigations on the subject. For the selection of studies, PubMed (North American Biomedical Literature, created by the US National Library of Medicine), Web of Science and Scopus databases were searched, from January to March 2022. The descriptors used were: (COVID-19) OR (SARS-CoV-2) AND (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION) AND (CORONARY THROMBOSIS). The final sample consisted of 08 analyzed articles. Results: The main factors that are associated with the occurrence of AMI in patients positive for COVID-19 are: the advanced age of the individuals, patients with high comorbidities and being male. The most common alterations in clinical and laboratory tests are the elevation of the st segment on the electrocardiogram, increased levels of troponin, D-dimer and serum C-reactive protein. The association between these factors represents a greater severity of these patients with a higher mortality rate. Conclusion: Knowledge of information regarding the baseline characteristics of cases associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) to patients with COVID-19 contributes to organizing the management of these patients in hospital systems through the institution of appropriate protocols for rapid diagnosis, screening and isolation. And also to minimize the exposure of the health team.
