[Review of arrythmias related to acute myocardial infarction and its treatment].
Because reperfusion therapy for AMI has been widely performed, complicated fatal ventricular arrythmias related to AMI has been dramatically decreased. However, there still remain the incidence of fetal arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation(VF), ventricular tachycardia(VT) at the early phase in occurrence of AMI. Besides spreading bolus intravenous administration of mutant-tPA, Bystander CPR, Public access defibrillation (PAD), and setting of automated external defibrillators(AED) in the public facilities are actually required to reduce the mortality of AMI. In this article, we reviewed that arrhythmias associated with AMI and strategy for treatments of complicated arrhythmias in the clinical settings.
