Supports early ILR monitoring post-AMI with reduced LVEF; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized outcome trials.
Does an implantable loop recorder effectively detect clinically significant arrhythmias in post-AMI patients with LVEF <= 40%?
Implantable loop recorders detect a high rate of clinically significant arrhythmias early after AMI in patients with depressed LVEF, leading to device therapy in nearly one-third of patients.
Huikuri et al. (2003) studied this question.
