Popis:	Background: The effectiveness of the wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) therapy in early post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients remains uncertain. Methods: We analyzed the characteristics and outcomes of patients who received a WCD in the early post-MI phase. Results: Twenty-four patients were followed-up for 8 months (range, 4–16 months). Two patients (8.3%) received appropriate shocks. Left ventricular ejection fraction improved after the WCD therapy (P
