Primary prevention with the ICD in clinical practice: not as straightforward as the guidelines suggest?
At first sight, guidelines for implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction seem unambiguous. There are clear cut-off values for ejection fraction, and functional class. However, determination of the ejection fraction itself is not unambiguous, and other risk factors for sudd...
متن کامل‘ICD in Primary Prevention: Potential Role of Sympathetic Nerve Imaging’
Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35% are at increased risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). These patients are likely to receive an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), effective in reducing the occurrence of SCD in primary prevention. The decision to use an ICD in CHF, according to the current guidelines, is based on New York Hea...
متن کاملICD Therapy for Primary Prevention in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common and heterogeneous disorder that increases an individual's risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). This review article discusses the relevant factors that are involved in the challenge of preventing SCD in patients with HCM. The epidemiology of SCD in patients is reviewed as well as the structural and genetic basis behind ventricular arrhythmias in HCM. ...
متن کاملComment on Article by Gates
I congratulate Jerry Gates on a lucid and important discussion of the role of privacy and confidentiality in sharing government data. He makes a strong case that increased and easier data sharing would improve the collection, estimation, and dissemination of federal data—which in turn would lead to better research and public policy—and that confidentiality concerns raise barriers to realizing t...
متن کاملComment on Article by Scutari
Hao Wang ̊ Scutari’s paper studies properties of the distribution of graphs ppGq. This is an interesting angle because it differs from many works that focus on distributions over parameter spaces for a given graph ppΘ | Gq. The paper’s investigation of ppGq centers around its implied covariance matrix Σ “ CovpGq. The major theoretical results, as I see it, concern eigenvalues of Σ as well as var...
