MESA MELGAREJO, Lorena. Lifelines and acute myocardial infarction: men experiences in Bogotá city. Rev. Univ. Ind. Santander. Salud [online]. 2016, vol.48, n.3, pp.375-383. ISSN 0121-0807. https://doi.org/10.18273/revsal.v48n3-2016011.
Introduction: The risk for cardiovascular diseases starts with fetal life and the accumulation continues throughout the whole life; the approximation to how those risks are constructed is a key point for health care. Objective: To understand the lifelines of men in Bogota who suffered acute myocardial infarction and how those structured his lifestyle. Methodology: Qualitative descriptive study. The participants were men hospitalized in the Coronary care unit of the Hospital de San José (Bogota, Colombia). The saturation was possible at 11th interview. For the data analysis was used the Janice M. Morse proposal. Results: Two categories were synthesized: 1. Work, masculinity and socialization: lifestyle framework, and 2. "My little way for understanding": Self- comprehension of the phenomenon. Conclusion: The qualitative approximation to the men's lifelines and how those have been structured, show us the overdetermination of the work and masculinity for developing harmful behaviors and choices during the daily life.
