What is the incidence of complex ventricular arrhythmias detected by 72-h ambulatory ECG in asymptomatic patients with recent uncomplicated myocardial infarction?
Frequent and complex ventricular extrasystoles are common in asymptomatic patients with recent uncomplicated myocardial infarction, highlighting the potential utility of ambulatory electrocardiography in this population.
Cocco et al. (1985) studied this question.
