Abstract

Objective. To test whether acute reperfusion of the infarct-related vessel after an acute myocardial infarction is associated with a subsequent reduction in spontaneous ventricular arrhythmias that is independent of ventricular ejection fraction, 1,944 patients from the GISSI-2 study population were studied. The patients were selected on the basis of a first myocardial infarction and the availability of two-dimensional echocardiographic ejection fraction and data on the number of premature ventricular contractions per hour on Holter monitoring.
