Discussion

Implication

Variability in NSVT detection cautions against single recordings for EP study selection in post-MI low-LVEF patients; leaves open whether serial monitoring improves reproducibility.

Population

68 postinfarction patients with LVEF <= 0.35 fulfilling noninvasive MADIT criteria

Intervention

Three consecutive Holter ECGs performed in weekly intervals

Outcome

Variability and reproducibility of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT)surrogate

NSVT exhibits marked spontaneous variability in postinfarction patients with low LVEF, limiting its clinical value as a reliable selection criterion for programmed ventricular stimulation.
