Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of mortality 
worldwide, and despite advancements in acute management, post-MI complications 
remain a significant burden on healthcare systems. This article provides a 
comprehensive overview of common complications following MI, including heart

Abstract:

Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of mortality

worldwide, and despite advancements in acute management, post-MI complications
remain a significant burden on healthcare systems. This article provides a
comprehensive overview of common complications following MI, including heart
failure, arrhythmias, left ventricular aneurysm, thromboembolic events, pericarditis,
and mechanical complications such as papillary muscle rupture and ventricular septal
defects. Detailed attention is given to pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and
treatment strategies for each complication. Emphasis is also placed on the role of
cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention in improving outcomes and reducing
recurrent events.

Introduction. Myocardial infarction (MI), commonly referred to as a heart

attack, occurs due to the sudden obstruction of coronary blood flow, leading to
ischemic necrosis of myocardial tissue. Despite advances in medical and interventional
therapies, complications arising after MI continue to challenge clinicians. These
complications can affect nearly all organ systems, predominantly impacting the
cardiovascular system. Post-MI complications are categorized into:

1. Early complications (within the first 48–72 hours): arrhythmias, cardiogenic

shock, and myocardial rupture.

2. Late complications (days to weeks): heart failure, ventricular aneurysms, and

thromboembolism.

This article aims to review these complications comprehensively, analyze their

pathophysiology, and discuss contemporary diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
Materials and Methods. This review is based on a systematic analysis of literature
published between 2015 and 2024. Data sources included PubMed, Scopus, and

MI heart failure," "ventricular aneurysm," and "arrhythmias after MI." The analysis
covered: Clinical trials and observational studies. Guidelines and recommendations
from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the American Heart Association
(AHA). Meta-analyses focusing on post-MI complications. Studies were selected to
highlight epidemiology, mechanisms, diagnostic tools, and treatment outcomes.

Results. 1. Heart Failure. Prevalence: Post-MI heart failure occurs in 20–40% of

patients. Pathophysiology: The loss of myocardial tissue impairs systolic and diastolic
function, leading to reduced cardiac output. Symptoms: Dyspnea, orthopnea, fatigue,
and peripheral edema. Management: Pharmacological: Beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors,
ARBs, MRAs, and SGLT2 inhibitors. Device-based therapies: Cardiac
resynchronization therapy (CRT) and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs)
for advanced cases. Advanced therapies: Heart transplantation or left ventricular assist
devices (LVADs) in refractory cases.

2. Arrhythmias. Prevalence: Up to 80% of patients experience arrhythmias post-MI.

Types: Ventricular arrhythmias: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular
fibrillation (VF). Atrial arrhythmias: Atrial fibrillation (AF). Bradyarrhythmias: Sinus
node dysfunction or heart block. Management: Acute: Antiarrhythmic drugs (e.g.,
amiodarone), electrical cardioversion for VT/VF. Chronic: ICD implantation for
secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death.

3. Left Ventricular Aneurysm. Prevalence: Develops in 10–30% of patients.

Pathophysiology: Infarcted myocardial tissue undergoes thinning and scar formation,
resulting in aneurysmal dilation. Complications: Thrombus formation, arrhythmias,
and heart failure.

Management: Medical: Anticoagulation to prevent embolism. Surgical: Resection

of the aneurysm in symptomatic cases.

4. Thromboembolism. Prevalence: Occurs in 5–10% of patients. Mechanism: Blood

stasis in the left ventricle or aneurysm promotes thrombus formation. Complications:
Systemic embolism (e.g., stroke) and pulmonary embolism. Management: Long-term
anticoagulation with warfarin or DOACs.

5. Pericarditis. Types: Early pericarditis: Occurs within 1–4 days due to direct

myocardial inflammation. Dressler syndrome: An autoimmune reaction occurring
weeks after MI. Symptoms: Chest pain, pericardial rub, and fever. Management:
NSAIDs, colchicine, and corticosteroids in refractory cases.

6. Mechanical Complications. Examples: Papillary muscle rupture: Leads to acute

mitral regurgitation and pulmonary edema. Ventricular septal defect: Creates a left-to-
right shunt, causing cardiogenic shock. Management: Emergent surgical repair is often
required. Discussion Post-MI complications significantly impact patient outcomes and
healthcare resources. Early identification and intervention are crucial. For example:
Heart failure management has evolved with the introduction of SGLT2 inhibitors,
significantly improving survival rates. Device-based therapies, such as ICDs and CRT,
reduce arrhythmia-related mortality. Advances in imaging techniques (e.g., cardiac
MRI) allow earlier detection of left ventricular dysfunction and aneurysms. Despite
these advancements, challenges persist in resource-limited settings, where access to
advanced therapies remains inadequate. Multidisciplinary care, integrating
cardiologists, rehabilitation specialists, and primary care physicians, is essential for
comprehensive management.

Conclusion

Myocardial infarction continues to pose challenges due to its complications. Early

detection, effective management, and cardiac rehabilitation are key to improving
patient outcomes. Ongoing research into novel therapies, including stem cell therapy
and gene editing, holds promise for reducing the long-term burden of post-MI
complications.
