About

This study aims to assess ECG changes for predicting ventricular arrhythmia in cardiomyopathic patients

Full description

This study aims to assess ECG markers based on 24-hour Holter ECG recordings for predicting ventricular arrhythmia in patients with Structural Heart disease who have left ventricular dysfunction and Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction ≤40%. With special concerns to underlying structural abnormalities in cardiomyopathic patients using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance to determine ventricular function, scar distribution, and grey zone analysis
