Abstract:
Among 112 patients after myocardial infarction (MI), males account for 94.6% with mean age is 66.47.4 years old. Most of them have complicated ventricular arrhythmia. The grade IV and V of ventricular arrhythmia on Lown classification relate strongly to the increase in left ventricular diameter, volume, weight and muscular mass and to the decrease in left ventricular systolic function. Increasing in left ventricular size (Dd 52mm, Ds 35mm, EDV 125ml, ESV 50ml), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVMI = 130g/m2), decreasing in blood ejective fraction (EF=40%) and ventricular wall distension all increase the risk of complicated and ventricular arrhythmia and grade III, IV and V of this condition according to Lown classification
