description Introduction: cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death in Cuba, where acute myocardial infarction has a high incidence and it is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Objective: to identify the risk factors associated with acute myocardial infarction in the Cardiology Service at “Celia Sanchez Manduley” Clinical Surgical Teaching Hospital during 2019. Methods: an observational, analytical case-control study was conducted. The target group consisted of 345 patients, all of them were studied. Absolute frequency and relative percentage were used. The chi-square test of independence and the odds ratio with its 95 % confidence interval were applied to determine the association between variables. Results: in both cases (27,9 %) and controls (26,5 %) prevailed the age group 50-59 years old. El 71,3 % of the cases were non-obese, as 72,6 % of controls. Hyperlipidemia was associated with the development of an acute myocardial infarction (p <0,001), representing a cardiovascular risk factor (OR: 4,39 CI: 2,72-7,07). Association between the presence of diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, smoking and familiar history of ischemic cardiopathy (p<0,05) was associated with the presence of acute myocardial infarction. Conclusions: individuals after the fourth decade of life were more prone to develop acute myocardial infarction. Smoking, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus represented risk factors for the development of acute myocardial infarction.
