Why the study?
Although arrhythmia incidence after MI has declined with reperfusion techniques, ischemic arrhythmias remain associated with increased morbidity and mortality particularly within the first 48 hours.
This paper provides a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, characteristics, and management of ischemic arrhythmias in the acute phase following myocardial infarction.

Post-MI arrhythmias warrant close monitoring in first 48 hours; review confirms persistent risk but leaves optimal prevention open.
The incidence of arrhythmia after myocardial infarction has declined since the introduction of reperfusion techniques. Nevertheless, ischemic arrhythmias are often associated with increased morbidity and mortality particularly in the first 48 hours after hospital admission. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, characteristics, and management of ischemic tachy- and brady-arrhythmias focusing on the period shortly after myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with both ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
