Myocardial Infarction
Conditions
Brief summary
The trial will inform whether detection of ventricular arrhythmias by means of implantable loop recorder (ILR) can help to predict SCD in the large population of survivors of a myocardial infarction with preserved left ventricular function, EF\>40%. This may improve risk stratification in these patients, and can inform on the clinical use of subcutaneous monitors to identify post-infarction populations in need for an intervention to prevent sudden death.
