ABSTRACT
Following a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI), a 68-year-old hypertensive, severely obese woman with 45% left ventricular ejection fraction underwent an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) insertion. After 8 months, the ICM remotely transmitted multiple non-sustained ventricular tachycardia episodes. Symptomatic during these events, the patient underwent an invasive electrophysiologic stimulation, which induced ventricular arrhythmia. Subsequently, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation was recommended. Continuous remote monitoring via an ICM detected critical arrhythmias in this post-MI patient, facilitating timely intervention.
