*[[Acute MI]] both anterior MI and inferior MI. The incidence is 8% to 36%.
The incidence of Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythms following acute MI is reported to be between 8 and 36%. This rhythm can also be seen in patients with primary myocardial disease, hypertensive, rheumatic, and congenital heart disease. Digoxin may cause of accelerated idioventricular rhythm.
*[[Anesthetic agents]]
 
*[[Cocaine]]
# Seen in both AMIs and IMIs.
*[[Digitalis]]
# Commonly seen following reperfusion.
*[[Heart surgery]]
# Usually occurs during [[sinus bradycardia]].
*[[Reperfusion injury]]
