Life-threatening arrhythmias, namely ventricular fibrillation or tachycardia, may be a challenging complication requiring a prompt approach. In some cases, acute ischemia leads to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PVT), and, rarely, to potentially lethal torsades de pointes ventricular tachycardia.engCerebral Infarction/complicationsMyocardial InfarctionArrhythmias CardiacsVentricular FibrillationStrokejournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.36660/ijcs.20210276ISSN 2359-5647
