Study: NCT03588286

Intervention type: PROCEDURE
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Electrophysiology study (EPS)
Description: EPS will be performed in all patients in the intervention arm with programmed ventricular stimulation with a drive train of 8 beats at 400 ms with up to 4 extrastimuli and stimulation from the right ventricular apex with current delivered at twice pacing threshold. The end point for stimulation will be sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) lasting \> 10 seconds. If sustained monomorphic VT with cycle length (CL) ≥200ms is induced by ≤4 extra stimuli the EPS result will be considered positive for inducible VT.30 Ventricular fibrillation or flutter with CL\<200ms will be considered a negative result. The Programmed Ventricular Stimulation (PVS) induction will be repeated a second time if the initial induction was negative for VT.

Intervention type: OTHER
Group type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
Intervention: Standard Care
Description: The control group receive ongoing standard care according to the practise of their institution. This includes discharge from hospital as per their treating physician and follow up as usual in the community. Participants in this group would be eligible to receive an ICD according to the standard practise of their cardiologist (guideline recommendations are after 40 days following myocardial infarction or 90 days following revascularisation only in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction less than or equal to 30% or less than or equal to 35% in the presence of heart failure).

Intervention type: PROCEDURE
Group type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
Intervention: Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR)
Description: CMR will be performed on either a 1.5-T or 3-T scanner. Gadolinium contrast (Gd-BOPTA, MultihanceTM) will be administered for quantification myocardial perfusion imaging with subsequent late gadolinium enhanced imaging after a total dose of 0.1mmol/kg. Exclusion criteria specific for CMR will include pregnancy, renal insufficiency defined as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \<30 mL/min, contraindication to MRI (including non-MRI compatible pacemaker/ICD or metal implants, non-MR safe prosthetic heart valves), claustrophobia which cannot be controlled via standard methods (benzodiazepines and/or sedative antihistamine administration) and prior allergic reaction to gadolinium-based contrast agent.
