- Ventricular fibrillation is the most common form of arrhythmic death in acute myocardial infarction. The vast majority of deaths due to ventricular fibrillation occur within the first 24 h of the onset of symptoms, and of these deaths, over half occur in the first hour.
- Most out-of-hospital deaths from myocardial infarction are due to ventricular fibrillation. It may occur
without warning symptoms or arrhythmias.
- Over the last 30 years, with careful monitoring and prompt attention to arrhythmias, the in-hospital mortality for acute myocardial infarction has been reduced from about 30 to between 10 and 15 percent.
