Plasma biomarkers for prediction of sudden cardiac death: another piece of the risk stratification puzzle?
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) accounts for most cardiovascular deaths in the United States, claiming an estimated 300 000 lives per year.1 Despite intense efforts to develop resuscitation techniques, survival rates are still low, at 5%.2 This has led to a renewed focus in this field directed toward optimizing risk prediction to identify the candidate that would qualify for prophylactic or preventi...
متن کاملImproved 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...
