The most common complication of early myocardial infarction is?
A. Congestive heart failure?
B. Dysrhythmias
C. Cardiogenic shock
D. Rupture of the heart?

None of the above. Death.

More than 50% of all initial heart attacks result in patient death.

B. Dysrhytmias

Member: http://Philippinenursing.blogspot.com

the answer is B- dysrthmias are one of the earliest because they are caused by a blockage in the electrical pathways of the heart cause by damage to tissue from the infarct.

Congestive heart failure is usually a side effect from a M.I. or it is a chronic disease related to prolonged untreated hypertension, but can also show up in a m.i. depending on its severity and location, but usually a late sign with left sided heart damage.

Cardiogenic shock is a laten sign. a very dangerous late sign. this is common in older folks and more so males who put off chest pain as indigestion, or in older folks who have a high pain tolerance due to age and or diabetes. this type of shock generally comes in to play 16-24 hours after the infarct, and is commonly irreversible.

rupture of the heart i would say if its an early sign, its the last sign also. very dangerous and fatal.

if theres anything else you need help with let me know
