Conditions
Brief summary
Vasco trial is a no profit, multicenter, international, prospective, randomized study designed to evaluate the clinical benefits of a remote monitoring management based on ILR vs standard practice in patients with high risk of cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure and left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF)\> 40% .The study will enroll about 331 patients (221 in the ILR group and 110 in the in-hospital follow-up group).
Interventions
Implantation of an implantable loop recorder
