Why the study?
Does ventricular ectopic activity predict mortality in survivors of acute myocardial infarction?
Does ventricular ectopic activity predict mortality in survivors of acute myocardial infarction?
Ventricular ectopic activity on 24-hour ambulatory ECG is an independent predictor of mortality in post-MI patients, particularly increasing relative risk in otherwise low-risk subsets.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Ventricular ectopy may aid post-MI risk stratification; leaves open whether suppression improves survival.
Kostis et al. (1987) studied this question.
