Arrhythmia Detection After MI

Arrhythmia Detection After Myocardial Infarction Trial

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

Patients post acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have a high risk of mortality but the use of an implantable defibrillator in the early aftermath of an AMI has not been shown to improve patients' survival. The VEST trial recently demonstrated an improved overall survival in post AMI patients with the use of a wearable defibrillator. The same improvement was not demonstrated for the risk of sudden cardiac death. Monitoring patients after AMI using an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) may document findings that can impact patient management and eventually improve their outcomes. We are therefore conducting the AID MI trial to examine the impact of ICM on patient management in the post AMI setting.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Adults, age 18 years or older - AMI (STEMI and NSTEMI) - Willing to give written willing to sign a consent form - Expected discharge from hospital within 7 days of AMI - Willing to receive ICM insertion within 21 days of index AMI Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Existing pacemaker, ICD, ICM, or any other implantable cardiac electronic device - Pregnant - Index AMI was more than 21 days - Unwilling/cannot insert ICM within 21 days post AMI - Planned ICD implant, planned CABG or any open-heart surgery (e.g. for severe valvular disease) Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
