This study describes the epidemiological panorama of hospitalizations for Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) between 2019 and 2023. Using a descriptive and retrospective approach based on secondary data from DATASUS compiled by Moniz et al. (2024), absolute numbers, incidence and mortality rates (per 100,000 inhabitants) and the hospital fatality rate were analyzed. During the period, an increasing trend in the number of hospitalizations and the incidence rate was observed. The mortality rate reached its peak in 2022. In contrast, the hospital fatality rate showed a decreasing trend. It is concluded that, despite the increase in the burden of hospitalizations for AMI, there was an improvement in hospital survival during the period. The findings highlight the continued importance of cardiovascular prevention strategies and the optimization of AMI care within the SUS, since the issue is of high relevance to public health.
