Abstract Aims: the ultimate aim in myocardial infarction is exact monitoring and minimizing its aspects such as blood pressure that may be under the effect of body position in measuring time. The present study had been done with the aim of determining the effect of change in body condition on blood pressure of the patients with acute myocardial infarction hospitalized in CCU. Methods : This study is an experimental study that 85 patients who suffer from acute myocardial infarction had been chosen with the available method from 22nd of Bahman hospital of Gonabad in 2012. Patients for 15 minutes were in supine sleeping position, in the Right and left Lateral, Semi-Fowler’s and Fowler’s position and blood pressure had been measured in every one of these positions. Data had been measured with the version 14 of SPSS software and nonparametric tests (Friedman tests) and descriptive statistic including: indicators of central tendency and distribution. Amounts of P less than 0.05 had been considered significant. Results: Data analysis showed significant difference between blood pressure amounts in different positions. In a way that right hand and left hand systolic and diastolic blood pressures in sitting position had the most average and in the right-side sleeping position had the least average. Conclusion: According to the importance of regular blood pressure monitoring in these patients, choosing appropriate body position for determining real blood pressure and to be informed of its changes in different positions of body in patients who suffer from myocardial infarction is very essential.
