Key result
Cardiac arrhythmias occurred in 76% of acute myocardial infarction patients within 48 hours of admission, and development of ventricular tachycardia was associated with high mortality (P<0.01).
Observational (n=100)
No
Cardiac arrhythmias are highly prevalent (76%) in the first 48 hours post-myocardial infarction, with ventricular tachycardia carrying a significantly high mortality risk.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports early arrhythmia surveillance after AMI; leaves open whether VT-targeted strategies improve outcomes in contemporary cohorts.
Marangmei et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=100). Acute myocardial infarction was evaluated on Prevalence of cardiac arrhythmia. Cardiac arrhythmias occurred in 76% of acute myocardial infarction patients within 48 hours of admission, and development of ventricular tachycardia was associated with high mortality (P<0.01).
