Objetivo: verificar se existe diferença na taxa de morbimortalidade entre homens e mulheres com diagnóstico de infarto agudo do miocárdio em um hospital de ensino. Método: estudo transversal, descritivo e quantitativo, com amostra de 647 prontuários, comparando-se fatores de risco, dados sociodemográficos e referentes à internação hospitalar. Resultados: de 647 pacientes, 415 eram homens e 232 mulheres, com idade variando entre 61 e 80 anos. Dos fatores de risco, 74,96% eram hipertensos em ambos os sexos, sendo que o percentual de hipertensão, diabetes e dislipidemia foi maior no sexo feminino. A taxa de mortalidade foi de 17,24% nas mulheres e 9,64% nos homens. Dentre os fatores de risco relacionados ao óbito, o mais significante foi a hipertensão arterial, seguido de diabetes e dislipidemia. Conclusão: houve maior prevalência de infarto do miocárdio no sexo masculino, entretanto, a taxa de morbidade e mortalidade foi maior no sexo feminino.
