Does continuous monitoring of the electrocardiogram improve the detection of arrhythmias in patients with acute myocardial infarction?

Population

Patients with acute myocardial infarction

Intervention

Continuous monitoring of the electrocardiogram

Comparator

Routine electrocardiograms

Outcome

Incidence of arrhythmias

Continuous ECG monitoring reveals a much higher incidence of serious arrhythmias following acute myocardial infarction than previously recognized with routine ECGs.
