Improved Prediction of Sudden Cardiac Death Risk
Risk stratification of patients to identify those who will benefit most from the primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) remains a challenge. For the last decade, measurement of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as a clinical risk predictor is recognized to be inadequate. In fact, contemporary real world data indicate that of the patients identified using thi...
متن کاملRisk of sudden cardiac death
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine characteristics of patients with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and/or sudden cardiac death (SCD). We need an effective risk stratification method for SCD in patients without low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). METHODS The study population of this cross-sectional study consisted of 241 patients with SCA or SCD who were admitted to an a...
متن کاملSudden cardiac death risk stratification.
Arrhythmic sudden cardiac death (SCD) may be caused by ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation or pulseless electric activity/asystole. Effective risk stratification to identify patients at risk of arrhythmic SCD is essential for targeting our healthcare and research resources to tackle this important public health issue. Although our understanding of SCD because of pulseless electric activity/asy...
متن کاملPrediction of sudden cardiac death: appraisal of the studies and methods assessing the risk of sudden arrhythmic death.
Since the recognition of the high incidence of cardiac arrest as the mechanism of sudden cardiac death (SCD), medical scientists and clinicians have sought methods to predict and prevent these events. Significant progress has already been made in the prediction and prevention of life-threatening arrhythmias during the last decade. This progress is highlighted by the outcomes of 4 recently publi...
متن کاملSudden cardiac death risk in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
It is well recognized that sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an infrequent, unpredictable, but catastrophic complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). In population-based studies the overall SCD rate is 1% per year among patients with a clinical diagnosis of HCM. A crucial aspect of the management of patients with HCM is an assessment of each individual patient’s risk for SCD so that preven...
