Arrhythmia Detection After MI (Acute Myocardial Infarction)

This study is looking at whether using an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) can help doctors better manage patients who have recently had a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction or AMI). An ICM is a small device placed under your skin to monitor your heart rhythm. Researchers want to see if using an ICM changes how doctors treat patients and how quickly heart rhythm problems are found and treated. You might be able to join if you are an adult (18 or older) who recently had a heart attack and do not have other implanted heart devices. The study aims to enroll 200 participants. The study's success will be measured by changes in patient management and the time it takes to diagnose and treat heart rhythm issues within 90 days after your heart attack.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention. It plans to enroll 200 participants.
What's involved
You would either receive routine monitoring with clinic visits or have an ICM implanted through a small incision within 21 days of your heart attack.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Changes to patient management and time to diagnosis/treatment of arrhythmia will be measured at 90 days post-AMI.
