Key result
Temporary or permanent pacemakers are recommended for specific AMI conduction disturbances like complete heart block.
Why the study?
Bradyarrhythmias and conduction disturbances frequently occur in acute myocardial infarction, but indications for temporary and permanent pacing remain controversial.

Bradyarrhythmias predominate in inferior MI; leaves open updated incidence and management in the reperfusion era.
What are the indications for temporary and permanent pacing in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Provides clinical recommendations for the use of temporary and permanent pacing in patients developing conduction disturbances during acute myocardial infarction.
Lynda E. Rosenfeld (1988) conducted a review in Acute Myocardial Infarction with bradyarrhythmias and conduction abnormalities. Pacemaker therapy was evaluated. Temporary or permanent pacemaker therapy is recommended for specific conduction disturbances in acute myocardial infarction, such as new bilateral bundle branch block or sudden complete heart block.
