In Brazil, coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction are responsible for about 6 to 10% of deaths in the population and the greatest expense with hospitalizations of the SUS. There is a high prevalence of modifiable risk factors account for more than 90% of the risk of developing coronary artery disease as: smoking and physical inactivity, and HAS the main Rico factor for cardiovascular diseases. So in addition to health education, identification of the profile of the population and of the risk factors peculiar to each population and appropriate your control are important in reducing mortality from cardiovascular diseases. Objective: to characterize the population affected by IAM met at HC/UFU in the year 2015; identify key risk factors and associate them to the socio-demographic and clinical profile and evaluate control of identify key risk factors and associate them to the socio-demographic and clinical profile and assess the blood pressure control of the population.
