most common cause of death in acute myocardial infarction?
pregnancy, and proclivity to bleeding
complications may occur immediately following the myocardial infarction or may take time to develop. disturbances of heart rhythms, including atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation and heart block can arise as a result of ischemia, cardiac scarring, and infarct location. stroke is also a risk, either as a result of clots transmitted from the heart during pci, as a result of bleeding following anticoagulation, or as a result of disturbances in the heart's ability to pump effectively as a result of the infarction. regurgitation of blood through the mitral valve is possible, particularly if the infarction causes dysfunction of the papillary muscle. cardiogenic shock as a result of the heart being unable to adequately pump blood may develop, dependent on infarct size, and is most likely to occur within the days following an acute myocardial infarction. cardiogenic shock is the largest cause of in-hospital mortality. rupture of the ventricular dividing wall or left ventricular wall may occur within the initial weeks. dressler's syndrome, a reaction following larger infarcts and a cause of pericarditis is also possible.
