Outcomes
heart failure, non-sustained, NSVT
EVENTS, HEART FAILURE, POLYMORPHIC VT
Our study shows that arrhythmic events were associated with adverse outcome (Table Five participants had significant findings on either 24 h-Holter monitoring or ILR (Table A second patient (#7) had multiple, symptomatic episodes of non-sustained, polymorphic VT detected by ILR (Fig. A third patient (#13) presented with acute severe heart failure with an LVEF of 12%. Her 24 h-Holter ECG documented an episode of NSVT (Fig. A fourth participant showed recovery of her LV systolic function within 6 months (#20) and one patient was lost to follow-up (#15).Patients with NSVT presented with a lower LVEF at baseline 20.2 ± 5.7% vs 30.2 ± 10.9%. p = 0.093). Indeed, all patients with NSVT detected by 24 h-Holter ECG monitoring or ILR had an LVEF ≤ 35% at presentation.
