  ABSTRACT: Background:Heart dysfunction and sudden death are common complications in post-myocardial infarction. Purpose: This study aims to contributeto improving patient’smanagement by determining the factors correlated tothe occurrence of left ventricular dysfunction or post-infarction suddendeath. Method: It was a transversal, descriptive and analytical study conducted fromJanuary to October 2021. Results: The variables studied covered epidemiological, therapeutic and electrocardiographic aspects. There were 102 patientsadmitted for a recent revascularized myocardial infarction or not who had receiveda24-hour ECG Holter after the acute phase of coronary event. The studypopulation was predominantly men 88% versus 12% women with a sex ratio of 0.15. The discharge prescription was 74% antiarrhythmic, 91% platelet antiaggregator and 14%anticoagulant. Electrical abnormalities consisted of supraventricular extrasystoles in 45% of cases, ventricular extrasystoles in 61%, atrial fibrillation in 19% and supraventricular tachycardias in 11% (p Conclusion: The prognostic factors associated with the onset of post-infarctioncomplications were ventricular arrhythmias (p
