Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients with mitral valve prolapse will be recruited for insertion of a continuous cardiac rhythm monitor (implantable loop recorder - ILR). Outcomes over a 2 year period will be compared to patients with ILR for other reasons.

An ILR is a USB sized device designed to provide continuous heart rhythm monitoring. insertion of an ILR is performed under local anaesthesia. A 2cm incision is made at the 4th intercostal space at the left sternal edge. The device is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue through this incision.

The ILR will be inserted by a cardiologist (Dr. Hui-Chen Han and Dr. Han S. Lim will be responsible for ILR insertion in the study participants). After ILR insertion, patients will be reviewed at 3 monthly intervals over a 2 year period
Intervention code [1] 314985 0
Diagnosis / Prognosis
Comparator / control treatment
The control group will be patients who have an ILR implanted for clinical reasons (e.g. syncope or palpitations).
Historical data is being used as a comparator. This data will be sourced from the Austin Hospital cardiology database (Cardiobase) system. Data from January 1 2010 to December 31 2018 will be used.

Historical

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 320695 0
Ventricular arrhythmias as assessed during interrogation of the ILR.
Interrogation of ILR is performed using a wireless programmer (in a similar fashion to how pacemakers are checked) placed over the skin of the patient.
Timepoint [1] 320695 0
3 monthly intervals up to 2 years post ILR insertion.
Secondary outcome [1] 372545 0
Significant bradyarrhythmias detected on ILR. This information will be obtained at the same time as the primary outcome using through interrogation of the ILR whereby a wireless programmer is placed over the skin of the patient.
Timepoint [1] 372545 0
3 monthly intervals up to 2 years post ILR insertion.
Secondary outcome [2] 373547 0
Significant ventricular pauses detected on ILR. This information will be obtained at the same time as the primary outcome using through interrogation of the ILR whereby a wireless programmer is placed over the skin of the patient.
Timepoint [2] 373547 0
3 monthly intervals up to 2 years post ILR insertion.
Secondary outcome [3] 373549 0
Presence of atrial fibrillation detected on ILR. This information will be obtained at the same time as the primary outcome using through interrogation of the ILR whereby a wireless programmer is placed over the skin of the patient.
Timepoint [3] 373549 0
3 monthly intervals up to 2 years post ILR insertion.
Secondary outcome [4] 373552 0
Potential exploratory outcomes such as requirement of cardiac device insertion (pacemaker or defibrillator) may also be assessed. Assessment for need of cardiac device insertion will be determined based on significant findings noted above (e.g. defibrillator for ventricular arrhythmias, or pacemaker for significant bradycardia or significant ventricular pauses). For the MVP group, this determination will be made during their 3 monthly visits. For the comparator group, this will be through historical data available on Cardiobase (see Step 3).
Timepoint [4] 373552 0
3 monthly intervals up to 2 years post ILR insertion.
