Abstract
Background 
Complications following acute myocardial infarction started to decrease in the past three decades after development of primary percutaneous coronary intervention and thrombolytic therapy, beside many other antiplatelet medications; however complications following acute myocardial infarction still is a major concern in the developing countries.
 
Objectives 
To detect complications and mortality that follow acute myocardial infarction during hospitalization.
 
Methods and study design
An observational study, consecutive patients (n=120) with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction admitted to the Sulaimani coronary care unit from June 2017 to February 2018 were included in this study, the in-hospital mortality and complications were recorded and analyzed.
 
Results
The mean age of populations in this study was 61.39±10.36 years, there were (70%) males and (30%) females, 35% of patients were smokers, 47.5% of patients had hypertension, 35% of patients had diabetes mellitus, anterior wall infarctions was present in (41.7%) of patients, while inferior wall infarction was present in (34.2%) of patients, (27.5%) of patients received thrombolytic therapy, while (54.2%) of patients received primary percutaneous coronary intervention for revascularization, 3.3% of them died during hospital stay while 53.3% of them discharged from hospital in stable condition after staying one to two days in hospital. Left ventricular dysfunction was found in (20.7%) of patients while (13.3%) develop arrhythmia and (13.3%) develop cardiogenic shock.
 
Conclusion
In-hospital mortality rate of acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction in this study was 3.3% which is comparable with studies from the western countries and India, this low rate of mortality belongs to high rate of revascularizations (percutaneous coronary intervention and thrombolytic.
