I don't about the rythm. Is it bradycardia? The treatment would be atropine.

yes bradycardia happens but not that common, 3rd degree heart block to be precise and yes treated with Atropin

Ventricular tachycardia and Ventricular fibrilation(most common cause of death ).

but death doesnt occur in all MI cases,so it doesnt happen that often, so the commonest is Ventricular premature complexes, and no specific treatment. you were close.
