The most serious risks are death, stroke, ventricular fibrillation (non-sustained ventricular tachycardia is common), myocardial infarction (heart attack, MI), and aortic dissection. A heart attack during or shortly after the procedure occurs in 0.3% of cases; this may require emergency coronary artery bypass surgery . [ 13 ]

A normal ECG does not rule out acute myocardial infarction. Mistakes in interpretation are relatively common, and the failure to identify high risk features has a negative effect on the quality of patient care. [12] It should be determined if a person is at high risk for myocardial infarction before conducting imaging tests to make a diagnosis ...
A myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops in one of the coronary arteries of the heart, causing infarction (tissue death) to the heart muscle. [1] The most common symptom is retrosternal chest pain or discomfort that classically radiates to the left shoulder, arm, or jaw. [1]
Left ventricular thrombus is a blood clot in the left ventricle of the heart. LVT is a common complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Typically the clot is a mural thrombus, meaning it is on the wall of the ventricle. [ 3 ]
Left-ventricle function and myocardial perfusion during exercise also improves after CABG. When the left ventricle is severely impaired before operation (ejection fraction below 30%), however, benefits are less impressive in terms of segmental wall movement but still significant because other parameters might improve as LV function improves ...
Sgarbossa's criteria are a set of electrocardiographic findings generally used to identify myocardial infarction (also called acute myocardial infarction or a "heart attack") in the presence of a left bundle branch block (LBBB) or a ventricular paced rhythm. [1] Myocardial infarction (MI) is often difficult to detect when LBBB is present on ECG ...
Heart left ventricular aneurysm short axis view Ventricular aneurysms are one of the many complications that may occur after a heart attack . The word aneurysm refers to a bulge or 'pocketing' of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum, or within the aorta.
