However, the exact underlying mechanisms of SCD in PPCM remain unknown. By means of extended electrocardiographic monitoring, we aimed to systematically characterize the burden of arrhythmias occurring in patients with newly diagnosed PPCM.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Twenty-five consecutive women with PPCM were included in this single-centre, prospective clinical trial and randomised to receiving either 24\u00a0h-Holter ECG monitoring followed by implantable loop recorder implantation (ILR; REVEAL XT, Medtronic<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup>) or 24\u00a0h-Holter ECG monitoring alone. ILR\u2009+\u200924\u00a0h-Holter monitoring had a higher yield of arrhythmic events compared to 24\u00a0h-Holter monitoring alone (40% vs 6.7%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.041). Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) occurred in four patients (16%, in three patients detected by 24\u00a0h-Holter, and multiple episodes detected by ILR in one patient). One patient deceased from third-degree AV block with an escape rhythm\u00a0that failed. All arrhythmic events occurred in patients with a severely impaired LV systolic function.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We found a high prevalence of potentially life-threatening arrhythmic events in patients with newly diagnosed PPCM. These included both brady- and tachyarrhythmias. Our results highlight the importance of extended electrocardiographic monitoring, especially in those with severely impaired LV systolic function. In this regard, ILR in addition to 24\u00a0h-Holter monitoring had a higher yield of VAs as compared to 24\u00a0h-Holter monitoring alone. In settings where WCDs are not readily available, ILR monitoring should be considered in patients with severely impaired LV systolic dysfunction, especially after uneventful 24\u00a0h-Holter monitoring.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Trial registration<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Pan African Clinical Trials Registry: PACTR202104866174807.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Graphical abstract<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Extended electrocardiographic monitoring for the detection of arrhythmias in PPCM.
