Abstract

RIVA is considered the most prevalent arrhythmia during the resolution phase of acute myocardial infarction. underestimation of the real risk of certain adjacent causes could condition the development of complications, and the identification of electrocardiographic changes is decisive. To determine the different clinical contexts that point to idioventricular rhythm and its differentiation from ventricular tachycardia, as well as other analogous alterations. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, a clinical case analysis was performed, together with the analysis of high impact literature. 74-year-old patient attended for cardiovascular evaluation after AMI, hemodynamically stable; an electrocardiogram was performed, and a RIVA was found plus salvos of atrial fibrillation. Specific management is reserved in cases of hemodynamic instability, and emphasis should be placed on prevention and control of cardiovascular risk factors.
