Eighty-seven patients underwent EGD within 30 days of having an MI. No major complications were observed. Minor complications occurred in 27 of 87 patients (31.0%), including mild hypotension, mild bradycardia, or increased chest pain...
Conclusions: EGD appears relatively safe for the diagnosis and management of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with acute MI.
The mean time post MI to endoscopy was 5.2 days.
