Frequency and Implications of Ischemia Prior to Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia in Patients Treated With a Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator Following Myocardial Infarction

ConclusionsIschemia is an infrequent cause of VT/VF following MI, contradicting previous study conclusions that recurrent MI is responsible for most post‐MI sudden death. Etiology of VT/VF, however, did not influence defibrillation success or survival, which was high for both groups.
