Core Tip	Autonomic dysfunction in response to acute myocardial infarction is subject of continuous investigation. Recent experimental data indicated vagal withdrawal, followed by more gradual sympathetic activation, coinciding with early and delayed arrhythmogenesis, respectively. These findings call for further research on the pathophysiologic role of the autonomic nervous system on the ischemic ventricular myocardium.
