Continuous Rhythm Monitoring in Patients After Acute Myocardial infaRction andpREServed Lef venTricle Ejection Fraction (ARREST)

Continuous Rhythm Monitoring in Patients After Acute Myocardial infaRction and pREServed Left venTricle Ejection Fraction

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.

Inclusion Criteria

• Informed consent signed
• Documented myocardial infarction in the 7days prior to enrolment
• Age > 18 yrs
• Left ventricular ejection fraction >=40% as assessed by echocardiography within 7 days window after MI.

Exclusion Criteria

• subject is unwilling or unable to comply with the study procedures
• documented ventricular tachycardia or survived cardiac arrest outside of an acute coronary syndrome
• Subject has indications for active implanted cardiac medical device (IPG, ICD, CRT).
• contraindications for implantation of a ICM - Planned CABG procedure
