      ventricular beats in acute myocardial infarction.

AB  - AIM: To determine the impact of infarct localization and types of reperfusion 
      therapy on the frequency of ventricular premature beats (VPBs) in patients with 
      acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction 
      (LVEF). METHODS: A total of 705 patients with acute ST elevation myocardial 
      infarction (STEMI) were divided according to the infarct localization 
      (anteroseptal, anterolateral, inferior and posterior) and reperfusion therapy 
      (fibrinolysis or percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting) into two 
      groups: LVEF<45% was an experimental group and LVEF>45% was a control group. The 
      occurrence of VPBs<10 per hour was defined as a non-significant, and the 
      occurrence of VPBs>10 per hour defined as a significant. RESULTS: In patients 
      with fibrinolysis therapy and LVEF<45% significant number of VPBs were in 
      anteroseptal (p=0.017), anterolateral (p<0.001) and posterior AMI (p<0.001), but 
      in patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and LVEF<45% 
      significant number of VPBs were only in anteroseptal AMI (p=0.001) localization. 
      CONCLUSION: In patients with reduced ejection fraction in AMI, treatment with PCI 
      method has a better antiarrhythmic effect compared to fibrinolysis treatment.
