Abstract
Arrythmias are common during the initial ten minutes following the onset of acute myocardial ischaemia. Early changes in electrolyte concentrations in the ischemic heart muscle and in the plasma perfusing adjacent normal muscle may be important to the genesis of arrhythmias and a prime cause of sudden death. Ionic alterations in ischaemic tissue may also be a contributory factor to arrhythmias occurring later (say after three hours) during the progression of a myocardial infarct.
