Abstract
A descriptive, non-experimental survey of 155 nurses and doctors was conducted to examine their knowledge of the initial presentation of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Results indicated that while the health professionals were aware of the listed symptoms of AMI, they were not aware of the atypical symptoms, and more respondents either disagreed or did not know whether there were gender-based differences in initial presentation.
