Why the study?
Prodromal myocardial infarction fatigue is common, but the concept had not been explored from a multidimensional perspective using a concept analysis approach.
This concept analysis provides an operational definition of prodromal myocardial infarction fatigue to better understand and identify this common symptom prior to myocardial infarction.

May aid prodromal symptom recognition in practice; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Patients' care-seeking behaviors are often based on the symptoms they experience. Prodromal myocardial infarction symptoms are those symptoms that occur prior to a myocardial infarction, and fatigue is common. However, the concept of prodromal myocardial infarction fatigue has not been explored from a multidimensional perspective using a concept analysis approach. The purpose of this concept analysis was to analyze this concept, using Walker and Avant's (2011) concept analysis methodology. A comprehensive literature search revealed 41 records for analysis. The structure and function of this concept was examined, and an operational definition of prodromal myocardial infarction fatigue was developed.
