In this episode, we explore the complications that can arise following myocardial infarction (MI). What is the Bezold-Jarisch reflex, and which territory of myocardial infarction (MI) predisposes to it? Where are LV aneurysms most likely to occur post-MI, and how can they be distinguished from LV pseudoaneurysms on echocardiography? Does accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) post-reperfusion carry any prognostic implications? What physical exam findings distinguish between posteromedial papillary muscle rupture and interventricular septal rupture? Does prior MI increase or decrease the risk of LV free wall rupture? Other than DAPT nonadherence, what factors are associated with development of stent thrombosis? Tune in for answers to these questions.
