Initial serum glucose level and white blood cell predict ventricular arrhythmia after first acute myocardial infarction
2010, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Ventricular arrhythmia, including ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, are life-threatening complications of AMI [5]. The incidence of VA has been reported to be 1.9% to 10.2% in all patients with AMI [5-10]. They are the most frequent causes of death related to AMI because they often occur before monitoring.

2005, Emergency Medicine Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Risk of secondary VF increases with larger infarct size, intraventricular conduction delay, anteroseptal AMI, persistent sinus tachycardia, atrial flutter, or atrial fibrillation early in the clinical course [1]. Secondary VF in association with cardiogenic shock has a poor prognosis with an in-hospital mortality rate of 40% to 60% [67]. Primary VF in hospitalized AMI patients has uncertain prognostic implications [68–71].
Tachyarrhythmias associated with acute myocardial infarction
2001, Emergency Medicine Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Although there are slightly increased in-hospital complications, the overall prognosis for patients with primary VF occurring with the first 2 days of AMI does not differ from their counterparts without VF at both discharge and at 1 year.18,34,38 Secondary VF occurs in the setting of heart failure or cardiogenic shock, with an incidence of approximately 4% to 7%.8,39 It can occur anytime during the course of AMI.
