Abstract: Myocardial infarction is a key component of the burden of cardiovascular disease. Survivors of a first acute myocardial infarction (MI) face a substantial risk of further cardiovascular events, including death, recurrent MI, heart failure, arrhythmias, angina, and stroke. The aim of our study was to determine the incidence of arrhythmia and conduction disturbance in patients of myocardial infarction. 100 patients of MI taken in this study and was conducted in department of medicine, Gajara Raja Medical College Gwalior (M.P.), India, between year 2012 and 2013. This study showed myocardial infarction is predominant in male of age group 50-70 years. Maximum arrhythmia patients had ventricular premature complexes, sinus tachyarrhythmias and sinus bradyarrhythmias. Arrhythmia requires monitoring and prompt treatment before development of its complications.
