Arrhythmias following Revascularization Procedures in the Course of Acute Myocardial Infarction: Are They Indicators of Reperfusion or Ongoing Ischemia?

Table 7

Infarct related artery and presence of reperfusion arrythmias in both treatment groups.

Treatment	IRA	Reperfusion arrythmias (in the first 48 hours)		𝑃
		Present	Absent
		𝑛 (%)	𝑛 (%)
Primary PCI	LAD	28 (62.2%)	2 (22.2%)	0.027 *
	RCA proksimal	3 (28.9%)	6 (66.7%)	0.001 *
	CX	4 (8.9%)	1 (11.1%)	1.000
Thrombolytic	LAD	44 (51.2%)	4 (36.4%)	0.355
	RCA proksimal	33 (38.4%)	7 (63.6%)	0.109
	CX	9 (10.5%)	0 (0%)	0.260

IRA: Infarct related artery, PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention, LAD: left anterior descending artery, RCA: right coronary artery, and CX: circumflex artery.
Chi-square test and Fisher’s Exact Chi-square tests were performed to analyse data.
*Values of 𝑃<0.05 indicate statistically significant data.
