Management of tachyarrhythmias after MI.
The prognostic significance of ventricular and supraventricular tachyarrhythmias after infarction varies with type and timing. In some cases intervention may be appropriate, and in others not. Management of peri-infarction and of later arrhythmias is reviewed. To avoid proarrhythmic consequences, pharmacologic treatment should be rigorously guided by carefully defined end points.
