==MI Complications==
#REDIRECT [[Myocardial infarction complications]]
 
===LV Free Wall Rupture===
*5-14 days after MI, earlier in thrombolysis pts
*Leaking of fluid outside can cause tamponade
**Look for JVD, pulsus paradoxus, diminished sounds
*Emergent Echo if stable
*Give IVF and consult CV surgery for pericardiocentesis and thoractomy
 
===LV Aneurysm===
*Usually chronic and can persis for >6 wks after MI
*Tends to occur with ant MI
*Emergent Echo if stable
*Treat cardiogenic shock, anticoagulate if mural thrombus
*Defibrillate ventricular arrythmias
 
===Septum rupture===
*3-7 days after MI
*Blood fills RV
**Listen for holosystolic murmur
*Emergent Echo if stable
*Reduce afterload with vasodilators and consult CV surgery
*Consider IABP
 
===Papillary muscle rupture===
*2-7 days after MI
*Listen for murmur at apex
*Emergent Echo if stable
*Reduce afterload with vasodilators and consult CV surgery
*Consider IABP
 
 
 
==Complications Based on MI Location==
===Anteroseptal MI Complications===
*Look at V2-V4,5
*CHF/Cardiogenic shock
**Large area of myocardium involved
*Bradycardia
**Bundles thru septum knocked out leading to wide complex
*Myocardial tissue rupture
*LV aneursym
 
===Inferior MI Complications===
*Look at II, III, aVF
*Bradycardias and AV block
**Increased vagal tone
**Sinus Node supplied by RCA in 60% of patients
**AV node supplied by RCA in 90% of patients
*Papillary muscle rupture
**RCA supplies inferior septum
**MI + new murmur + CHF think valve injury
 
===Right Ventricle MI Complications===
*Inf MI with ST elev III>II, ST elev V1>V2, ST dep V2
**Lead III and V1 looks most at R side of heart
*RV mostly supplied by RCA
*Hypotension most severe complication
**Volume load
**AVOID vasodilators, do not give SLNG
