Prospective study of continuous rhythm monitoring in patients with early post-infarction systolic dysfunction: clinical impact of arrhythmias detected by an implantable cardiac monitoring device with real-time transmission-the TeVeO study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Updated primary prevention strategies are needed for post-infarction sudden cardiac death (SCD) based on implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). 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.
