Tools were used to collect data: includes Sociodemographic characteristics, patient personal medical history, patients' knowledge questionnaire and patients' perception questionnaire. Result: The results revealed that the most of the studied patient had unsatisfactory knowledge about nature and causes of, myocardial infarction symptoms, risk factors of myocardial infarction (71.1%, 93.3%, 54.4% respectively). Also more than three quarter (81.1%) of the studied patients had highly positive perception regarding myocardial infarction.
