Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A variety of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias are encountered in patients with acute coronary syndromes. These include both brady and tachyarrhythmias of supraventricular and ventricular origin. Sinus bradycardia and atrial fibrillation are the most common of supraventricular origin. Ventricular arrhythmias that merit consideration include premature ventricular complexes, accelerated idioventricular rhythm, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation. Intraventricular and atrioventricular conduction blocks associated with acute coronary syndromes include bundle branch blocks, fascicular blocks, and various degrees of atrioventricular block. A review of management of these arrhythmias is presented.
