The incidence of arrhythmia after myocardial infarction has declined since the introduction of reperfusion techniques. Nevertheless, ischemic arrhythmias are often associated with increased morbidity and mortality particularly in the first 48 hours after hospital admission. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, characteristics, and management of ischemic tachy- and brady-arrhythmias focusing on the period shortly after myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with both ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

D000072657	ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction	A clinical syndrome defined by MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA symptoms; persistent elevation in the ST segments of the ELECTROCARDIOGRAM; and release of BIOMARKERS of myocardial NECROSIS (e.g., elevated TROPONIN levels). ST segment elevation in the ECG is often used in determining the treatment protocol (see also NON-ST ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION).

D000072658	Non-ST Elevated Myocardial Infarction	A myocardial infarction that does not produce elevations in the ST segments of the ELECTROCARDIOGRAM. ST segment elevation of the ECG is often used in determining the treatment protocol (see also ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction).

D001145	Arrhythmias, Cardiac	Any disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in HEART RATE, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction.
