Background Patients with left ventricular dysfunction after MI are at high risk for VTEs. Methods Ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), or death as a function of time since MI was assessed in 693 patients enrolled in the MADIT-CRT (Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial-Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy). Patients were categorized as those with a period of
