Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the emerging public health problems in a developing country like Nigeria. However, knowledge and awareness is essential in the management of myocardial infarction. The study intended to explore knowledge and awareness of myocardial infarction among women in the child bearing age in Zaria metropolis, Kaduna State, Nigeria. This study is primarily a qualitative case study involving women only. Data collected were recorded on a handheld device with the aid of a semi- structured interview guide involving 11 participants. Findings revealed that awareness of MI among women in Zaria is low. Participants have no prior knowledge about MI. Sources of information about MI  among women in the child bearing age are medical practitioners, family members, social spaces and place of worship. It is concluded that health promotion of knowledge and awareness programmes should be developed to help in the inculcation of positive health behaviour. The study therefore recommends that women should be provided with information that will encourage transformative learning. Health awareness campaigns should be created from the medical perspectives so as to increase the awareness among women.
