Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a leading cause of death in Australia. Patients with coronary artery disease and impaired left ventricular function are at increased risk of heart failure, reinfarction and sudden cardiac death (SCD). This research will evaluate optimal methods to identify patients at risk for SCD following AMI using echocardiographic, MRI, and electrophysiological characteristics, and improve survival by early identification and management of these high-risk patients.

在澳大利亚，急性心肌梗死(AMI)是主要的死亡原因。患有冠状动脉疾病和左心功能受损的患者心力衰竭、再梗塞和心脏性猝死(SCD)的风险增加。这项研究将评估利用超声心动图、核磁共振和电生理特征识别急性心肌梗死后SCD高危患者的最佳方法，并通过早期识别和处理这些高危患者来提高生存率。
