Ventricular tachyarrhythmia detection by implantable loop recording in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction: The VIP‐HF study

European Journal of Heart Failure Aug 31, 2020

van Veldhuisen DJ, van Woerden G, Gorter TM, et al. - In this investigator‐initiated, prospective, multicentre, observational study, researchers sought to investigate the incidence of sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTs) in heart failure (HF) with mid‐range (HFmrEF) or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), as well as to analyze the incidence of non‐sustained VTs, bradyarrhythmias, HF hospitalizations, and mortality. They involved 113 of the planned 250 patients [mean age 73 ± 8 years, 51% women, New York Heart Association class II/III 54%/46%, median N‐terminal pro B‐type natriuretic peptide 1,367 (710–2452) pg/mL and mean LVEF 54 ± 6%; 75% had LVEF > 50%]. The incidence of sustained VTs in HFmrEF/HFpEF was low despite the lower than expected number of included patients. Clinically relevant bradyarrhythmias have been observed more often than expected.
