The purpose of this review was to examine in what situations patients with myocardial infarction could feel anxiety. We also wanted to examine what a nurse could do to relieve the anxiety. The results are based on eight scientific articles and one literature review. The results shows that the patient could feel anxiety before examinations and transfers. The patient's anxiety increased if relatives had anxiety and if there were a lack of information from the nurse. Information, support, teaching in different relaxations and music therapy are useful interventions, which the nurse could use to relieve the anxiety among patients with myocardial infarction.
