Prospective study of continuous rhythm monitoring in patients with early post-infarction systolic dysfunction: clinical impact of arrhythmias detected by an implantable cardiac mon... by Jesus Hernandez-Hernandez, Ana Martin-Garcia, Javier Jimenez-Candil, Pedro L Sanchez, Carlos González-Juanatey, Javier García-Fernández, Alba Cruz-Galban, Olga Duran-Bobin, Javier Garcia-Seara, Teba Gonzalez-Ferrero, Jose Morinigo, Manuel Sanchez-Garcia, Gonzalo Fernandez-Palacios, Jose Seijas-Amigo, Juliana Elices, Javier Portales-Fernandez, Francisco Martin-Herrero, Ana García-Campos, Jose A Perez-Rivera, Marta Alonso-Fernandez-Gatta, Alfonso Macías, Paloma Perez-Espejo

“…Current recommendations, based on left ventricular systolic function and functional class, may be obsolete because they are derived from ancient studies that do not incorporate the potential benefit of either current comprehensive treatment of ischaemic heart disease or modern device programming. Among patients with post-infarction left ventricular dysfunction, modern implantable cardiac monitoring devices (ICM) allow a unique opportunity to determine in real-time the burden of non-sustained ventricular tachycardias and their relationship to the subsequent occurrence of sustained or symptomatic events.Methods and analysis Approximately 200 patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) equal to or less than 40% after acute myocardial infarction will be included in the study. …”
