Article Description

Several triggering factors are known to be associated with malign ventricular arrhythmias in the early and late phases of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Circulating levels of inflammatory and procoagulant markers have been known to increase in the setting of AMI as a result of inflammatory and procoagulant response possibly associated with tissue injury, plague rupture and wall motion abnormalities etc. In the setting of AMI, substantial levels of inflammatory and procoagulant markers may accompany or be associated with early and late arrhythmogenesis, and hence may help identify patients at high risk, indicating their potential roles as additional guides in determining the strategy for prevention of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
