Use of Cardiac MRI in Early Stages of STEMI to Predict Left Ventricular Function Recovery and ICD Implantation

NCT03743935 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 12

Summary

Patients presenting with STEMI and late revascularization can suffer from severe left ventricular dysfunction. Midterm and longterm mortality can be determined by the risk of fatal ventricular arrythmias. For this specific population, ESC guidelines currently recommend a waiting period of up to 40 days after a STEMI with severe left ventricular dysfunction before considering ICD implantation for primary prevention of sudden death.This delay is allocated to judge left ventricular recovery.

This study aims to see whether early cardiac MRI with specific sequences can help predict which patients will most probably not recover their left ventricular function and benefit from earlier ICD implantation.
