A number of complications can be anticipated during the first hours and days after myocardial infarction. Some of these are due to the infarction itself, and others, such as intracranial hemorrhage, are a risk of the lifesaving thrombolytic therapy that a patient may be receiving. In this article, Dr Fowles describes the various complications associated with myocardial infarction, discusses prognosis and rehabilitation, and examines current management practices in the United States.
