Structured PICO
What is the incidence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias detected by implantable loop recording in patients with HFmrEF/HFpEF?
P
Population
Patients with Heart Failure and Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFmrEF/HFpEF)
I
Intervention
Implantable Loop Recording
O
Outcome
Detection of ventricular tachyarrhythmia (sustained VTs)
Implantable loop recording in HFmrEF/HFpEF patients demonstrates a low incidence of sustained VTs but a higher than expected rate of clinically relevant bradyarrhythmias.
Abstract
Despite the lower than expected number of included patients, the incidence of sustained VTs in HFmrEF/HFpEF was low. Clinically relevant bradyarrhythmias were more often observed than expected.
