Then, why is it mentioned that, implanting a defibrillator soon after an acute myocardial infarction, in those with left ventricular dysfunction and prone for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, is not useful? Then, why is it mentioned that, an implantable defibrillator, is not useful, soon after myocardial infarction?

Those at risk of recurrent VT with previous myocardial infarction and left ventricular dysfunction also need an implantable defibrillator. Polymorphic VT is managed by intravenous magnesium and measures to increase heart rate like pacing as it occurs most often in the setting of bradycardia and QT interval prolongation.
