What is known about this topic?
VTA is rare yet serious complication of acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
and has adverse implications on in-hospital and long-term mortality
based on older trials. VTA associated with acute myocardial infarction
(AMI) are classified as early (within the first 48 hours) which are the
most frequent cause of AMI-related death and late (after 48 hours),
usually associated with ventricular dysfunction. Limited data exists
regarding the association between VTA observed during AMI
hospitalization and short and long-term mortality.
