Improvement of Risk-stratification by Use of a New Combination of Holter Variables in Survivors of Myocardial Infarction

Abstract: By combining measurements of HRV, VT and ST the prognostic importance of Holter monitoring can be significantly improved. The patients can be stratified in a low-risk group with an annual mortality < 1% vs a high-risk group with a cardiac death rate around 40% over the following decade.

“…The addition of other variables such as heart rate variability and the detection of ventricular tachycardia to silent ischemia to create a combined index of abnormal ambulatory ECG responses can improve the sensitivity and predictive value of the test. 37 However, for patients in the convalescent phase of MI, the value of ambulatory ECG as an additional noninvasive method of risk stratification is limited to those who cannot exercise. For the majority of patients who are discharged after infarction and who are able to exercise, silent ischemia on ambulatory monitoring does not add incremental information to that gleaned from clinical assessment and exercise testing concerning the risk of acute events.…”
