Inflammation-Mediated Mechanisms of Arrhythmias After Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a leading cause of cardiovascular death. Arrhythmias are the most common complication after AMI and can worsen disease progression and lead to sudden cardiac death (SCD). Therefore, prompt and accurate diagnosis, together with proactive and effective treatment, is crucial. This article reviews the mechanisms of inflammation in post-AMI arrhythmias, including inflammatory cell infiltration, cytokine release, oxidative stress, cardiac structural remodeling, and neuroimmune interactions. Additionally, this review discusses the predictive value of inflammatory markers and the clinical prospects of anti-inflammatory therapy, thereby providing a reference for future research and clinical prevention.
