Key result
Holter ECG monitoring parameters help stratify the risk of sudden cardiac death and identify predictors of myocardial electrical instability in patients after acute myocardial infarction.
Why the study?
Does 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring predict sudden cardiac death in patients after acute myocardial infarction?
Does 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring predict sudden cardiac death in patients after acute myocardial infarction?
Specific parameters from 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring can help stratify the risk of sudden cardiac death in post-myocardial infarction patients.
Supports Holter-based sudden cardiac death risk stratification after myocardial infarction; leaves open need for prospective validation.
The recent data is considered on the prevalence, electrophysiology, mechanisms and risk factors of sudden cardiac death in patients after acute myocardial infarction. The data is shown about Holter monitoring of ECG as a method (these methods are in use in systems like Astrocard® Holtersystem, GE Healthcare MARS, medilog® DARWIN), that stratifies the risk of sudden cardiac death development. The prognostic role and importance of specific parameters of 24-hour ECG monitoring is studied, correlating with the higher risk of life-threatening rhythm disorders that are the main mechanisms of sudden cardiac death. The estimation of the main predictors of electrical instability of myocardium is done.

Oleynikov et al. (2015) conducted a review in Sudden cardiac death after acute myocardial infarction. Holter ECG monitoring was evaluated on Sudden cardiac death and life-threatening rhythm disorders. Holter ECG monitoring parameters help stratify the risk of sudden cardiac death and identify predictors of myocardial electrical instability in patients after acute myocardial infarction.
