Abstract :

Myocardial infarction is defined by the demonstration of myocardial cell necrosis due to significant and sustained ischemia. Cardiac arrhythmias routinely manifest during or following an acute coronary syndrome. Although the incidence of arrhythmia is directly related to the type of ACS the patient is experiencing, the clinician needs to be cautious with all patients in these categories for example, nearly 90% of patients who experience acute myocardial infarction (AMI) develop some cardiac abnormality and 25% have a cardiac conduction disturbance within 24 hrs of infarct onset
