Ventricular arrhythmias associated with acute myocardial infarction require careful evaluation of their type and timing to determine prognostic implications and tailor optimal management strategies.
This review provides an update on the pathogenesis, clinical features, and management of ventricular arrhythmias occurring in the context of acute myocardial infarction.
Requires type- and timing-specific evaluation for AMI ventricular arrhythmias; extends literature but leaves open needs for prospective validation.
It is important that clinicians have a clear understanding of the significance of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) that occur in the context of acute myocardial infarction depending on the type of VA and timing in relation to the myocardial injury. This will greatly assist in evaluating prognostic implications and tailoring optimal strategies for management. This review presents an update on the current understanding of the pathogenesis, incidence, and clinical features of postinfarction VAs, and outcomes and potential therapeutic options.
