Abstract: To get a successful management result for myocardial infarction, qualified and skilled healthcare providers are needed as well as standardized care policies. Therefore, this study was carried out to evaluate Bangladeshi nurses' understanding of myocardial infarction. For this, a cross-sectional descriptive type of study was carried out. A practical sampling method was used. A 300-person sample was used. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for data gathering. The ethical standard was upheld. The hospital administration and staff provided written approval after being fully informed. Data was gathered using several factors. The bulk of respondents fell between the 26–30 age range, according to the study of demographic data. The majority of responses were women (90 percent). Seventy percent of the nurses had earned a diploma in nursing science and midwifery. 43.33 percent of respondents have five to six years of professional experience. Additionally, the findings indicated that 30% of respondents had an outstanding understanding of MI, 20% had very high knowledge, 20% had fair knowledge, 13.3% had ordinary knowledge, and 16.67% had poor knowledge. Even though the study found that the majority of respondents had great knowledge, extra training is advised to advance their understanding and contribute to the particular profession.
