The usefulness of cardiac magnetic resonance in prevention of sudden cardiac death after myocardial infarction
I have read with a great interest the article entitled "No association between scar size and characteristics on T-wave alternans in postmyocardial infarction patients with relatively preserved ventricular function presented with non-sustained ventricular tachycardia" by Yalın et al. (1) that was recently published in Anatolian J Cardiol 2014;14: 442-7. The authors have evaluated the relationshi...
متن کاملPrevention of Sudden Cardiac Death
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) due ventricular tachyarrhythmias is an important cause of mortality world wide. While the majority of these deaths occur in those with structural heart disease, a small percentage (about 4%) can occur in those with structurally normal heart as well [1]. Such primary electrical disorders of the heart which cause SCD are now called as channelopathies as they involve the...
متن کاملPrevention of sudden cardiac death.
Although the annual incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) is dropping in the United States, therapies for the patient who has survived a SCD episode or is at high risk of developing SCD in the future are now well established. The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) has emerged from a series of well done randomized clinical trials of the 1990s as providing a survival benefit in carefu...
متن کاملPrimary Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death in Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Background—Patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and impaired left ventricular ejection fraction have an increased risk of dying suddenly. Methods and Results—Patients with recent onset of DCM ( 9 months) and an ejection fraction 30% were randomly assigned to the implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or control. The primary end point of the trial was al...
متن کامل[Primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death].
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are the mainstay of modern device-based therapy for ventricular arrhythmias. Originally developed for patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest, the vast majority of today’s ICDs are implanted prophylactically in patients with heart failure at increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias. The objective of this review is to provide a concise overview ...
