A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out with the objective of clinically and epidemiologically characterizing 43 patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarct who did not received thrombolytic treatment in the General Hospital Orlando Pantoja Tamayo of the municipality of Contramaestre, from January to December 2012, with a predominance of the male sex and the age group from 61 to 70 years old, with 2 or more coronary risk facts, being significant dyslipidemia, obesity and arterial hypertension. The arrival time delayed more than 12 hours was the main cause disqualifying thrombolysis application, mainly caused by the ignorance of the alarm signs motivating the visit to the doctor from the part of the patient. There was a predominance of the lower side infarct and an average hospital staying of more than 12 days.
