Are warning arrhythmias and specific ventricular ectopic beat characteristics predictive of primary ventricular fibrillation in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Warning arrhythmias, coupling intervals, and ectopic beat configurations are not reliable predictors for the onset of primary ventricular fibrillation in acute myocardial infarction, challenging their use as criteria for initiating prophylactic antiarrhythmic therapy.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Warning arrhythmias should not yet guide antiarrhythmic therapy in acute MI; leaves open need for validated VF predictors in prospective studies.

Lie et al. (1975) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=262). Warning arrhythmias vs. Absence of warning arrhythmias was evaluated on Primary ventricular fibrillation (PVF).
