ABSTRACT
Ninety percent of patients with acute myocardial infarction have some cardiac rhythm abnormality, and approximately twenty-five percent have cardiac conduction disturbance within 24 hours following infarct onset. Almost any rhythm disturbance can be associated with acute myocardial infarction, including bradyarrhythmias, supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, ventricular arrhythmias, and atrioventricular block. With the advent of thrombolytic therapy, it was found that some rhythm disturbances in patients with acute myocardial infarction may be related to successful coronary artery reperfusion. This article addresses the role and treatment of arrhythmias and conduction disturbances that complicate the course of patients with acute infarction and thrombolysis.
