Accelerated idioventricular rhythm generally refers to accelerated ventricular autonomous rhythm. In general, accelerated ventricular autonomous rhythm is a relatively rare type of arrhythmia, with specific details as follows:

Accelerated ventricular autonomous rhythm commonly occurs within 24 hours of acute myocardial infarction, particularly in cases of inferior wall myocardial infarction. It is also a frequently observed arrhythmia during reperfusion after acute myocardial infarction. Short-term episodes typically do not require treatment, but symptoms can be relieved under medical guidance using medications such as diazepam tablets or lidocaine hydrochloride injection.

Patients are advised to seek timely medical attention when experiencing discomfort and to receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a physician, which helps promote recovery.
