Patients predict their own outcome with CRT
as superior to the more simple methods for detecting non-responders [3], and a further search for better prognostic markers is needed. Versteeg et al. present the predictive value of pre-implant patient-reported health status on mortality using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) in a single-centre cohort of patients receiving CRT [4]. This well-conducted study demonstrated that...
متن کاملLongevity Expectations and Death: Can People Predict Their Own Demise?
Many economists are convinced that when individuals are asked to formulate probabilities they are unlikely to do it correctly (Mark J. Machina, 1990). However, the same analysts would likely add that people do have a reasonably articulated, but biased, internal scale for risk perceptions. As a result, the extent of bias in these subjective perceptions has been an important unresolved issue. For...
متن کاملChimpanzees predict that a competitor's preference will match their own.
The ability to predict how another individual will behave is useful in social competition. Chimpanzees can predict the behaviour of another based on what they observe her to see, hear, know and infer. Here we show that chimpanzees act on the assumption that others have preferences that match their own. All subjects began with a preference for a box with a picture of food over one with a picture...
متن کاملCRT-D or CRT-P in CRT-indicated patients?
HRV parameters and 6-minute walking test, functional capacity, right ventricular systolic function, BNP and hs-troponin-I levels. Most common cause of death in these patients is arrhythmia, and autonomic dysfunction may be triggering factor (2). HRV parameters are now being used for prognostic evaluation in PAH patients. There are also studies suggesting HRV reduction may be associated with mor...
متن کاملEcho response and clinical outcome in CRT patients
BACKGROUND Change in left ventricular end-systolic volume (∆LVESV) is the most frequently used surrogate marker in measuring response to cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT). We investigated whether ∆LVESV is the best measure to discriminate between a favourable and unfavourable outcome and whether this is equally applicable to non-ischaemic and ischaemic cardiomyopathy. METHODS 205 CRT pa...
