Can we give in adrenaline for bradycardia in a setting of acute myocardial infarction. Because it increases the myocardial contractility and increase oxygen consumption which may be harmful.

Was surprised not to see Mel's mnemonic DIE (drugs, ischemia, electrolytes) as a differential for bradycardia on the summary.
It might also be helpful to consider sepsis in the differential - it can present with bradycardia.
Thanks again for excellent review.

Can't tell if it's Mobitz 1 or 2 since it's 2:1. Call it second degree heart block.
