Abstract

Background: 

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. Estimated to be 17.9 million people died from CVDs in 2019, representing 32% of all global deaths. Of these deaths, 85% were due to heart attack and stroke. Over the three quarters of CVD deaths take place in low- and middle-income countries. Coronary artery disease which accounts for nearly one-third to one-half of all of the cases of CVDs is reported to be one of the major causes of death in developing and middle east countries and Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most common cause of death in the world 

Improving nurses’ practice regarding thrombolytic therapy will prevent the complications resulting from error of administration of thrombolytics, which will have a direct impact on patient's progress and decrease hospital stay. 

Aim of the study: Evaluate the effect of educational program on nurses' knowledge and practice regarding thrombolytic therapy among patients with acute myocardial infarction,
