• Patients with a reduced left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤50%) or a reduction of 15% in the ejection fraction (EF) between two echocardiographies and a concomitant diagnosis of any arrhythmia likely to lead to AiCM within one year before or after diagnosis of the reduced LVEF from 2010-2021
