    Accelerated idioventricular rhythm is not a reliable marker for coronary reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction patients. Ventricular tachycardia, however, was more frequent with reperfusion and subtotal occlusion.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Interventional Cardiology

    Background:

    • Accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) has been historically utilized as an indicator of successful coronary reperfusion following acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
    • The clinical significance of AIVR in the context of reperfusion therapy requires further clarification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the incidence of AIVR and ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients undergoing thrombolysis for AMI.
    • To determine if AIVR can reliably serve as a marker for coronary reperfusion.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study involving 52 consecutive patients with AMI treated with intracoronary streptokinase.
    • Complete 12-hour Holter monitoring was performed during and after treatment in 39 patients.
    • Patients were categorized based on reperfusion status: documented reperfusion, no reperfusion, and subtotal occlusion.

    Main Results:

    • AIVR occurred in 83% (reperfusion), 57% (no reperfusion), and 63% (subtotal occlusion) of patients, with no statistically significant difference between groups (p > 0.05).
    • VT occurred in 100% (reperfusion), 71% (no reperfusion), and 100% (subtotal occlusion) of patients, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05).
    • VT incidence was notably higher in patients with documented reperfusion and subtotal occlusion.

    Conclusions:

    • AIVR is not a specific marker for coronary reperfusion in the setting of AMI treated with intracoronary streptokinase.
    • Ventricular tachycardia is more frequently observed in patients experiencing reperfusion or having subtotal coronary occlusion.
