The risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) is high early after myocardial infarction (MI). Current knowledge and guidelines mainly rely on results from older clinical trials and registry studies. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) alone has not been proven a reliable predictor of SCD. This study...
