[Pause-dependent Torsade de Pointes following acute myocardial infarction].
The authors report an early occurrence (within 48 hours) of the newly described form of pause-dependent torsade de pointes following acute myocardial infarction. QT prolongtion after myocardial infarction a common ECG finding. Postextrasystolic QT prolongation rare but one of the warning signs for torsade de pointes ventricular tachycardia following myocardial infarction. Careful monitoring is suggested in these cases.
