Author: Mantas Čekanauskas. Title: Myocardial infarction morbidity, risk factors and survival in working age population in 2005– 2015. Aim: To review data found in scientific literature about myocardial infarction morbidity, risk factors and survival in working age population in 2005–2015. Tasks: To evaluate morbidity of myocardial infarction and its changes in Lithuania and European Union. To summarize etiology, main symptoms and principles of diagnostics. To identify the most significant risk factors for men and women. To evaluate survival, its changes and factors that contribute to it.

Only studies that were made with humans, written in English or Lithuanian and published not earlier than 10 years ago were selected. Articles that analyzed 65 years old and older population as well as younger than 18 years old people and those in which myocardial infarction was not the main analyzed topic were rejected.
