Acute myocardial infarction is one of the most common causes of death in the world. It is caused by reduced blood flow to a part of the heart or interruption of blood flow to a part of the heart, which leads to necrosis of the heart muscle. The classic symptom is pain or pressure in the chest and often radiates to the shoulder, spine, jaw and then down the left or right arm. There are various risk factors for the onset of the disease, some of which can be acted upon while others are not changeable. Early diagnosis is essential to minimize the risk of the patient's death. The diagnosis is made on the basis of acute chest pain with the presence of typical changes on the electrocardiogram. Acute myocardial infarction is divided into myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation and without ST segment elevation. After an acute myocardial infarction has been diagnosed and an intervention has been made in time, the most important and long-term part for the patient follows, which is cardiac rehabilitation. It is divided into three phases; first or early stage, second or convalescent and third or late stage. The goal of cardiac rehabilitation is to reduce morbidity, mortality and improve survival, reduce postoperative complications and reduce the length of hospitalization. Physiotherapy is the main component of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation. Physiotherapy assessment is based on the SOAP method. , by analyzing medical documentation, taking a physiotherapy history, physical assessment of the patient's condition, and tests and measurements. Essential components after an acute myocardial infarction are exercises and physical activity. Physiotherapy interventions that are carried out are: mobilization of the upper and lower extremities, respiratory training, breathing exercises, relaxation exercises, verticalization of the patient with walking and balance exercises, aerobic training, dynamic exercises, interval training and many others.
