متن کاملPredicting and preventing sudden death from cardiac causes.
Sudden cardiac death usually occurs secondary to a ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Even under ideal circumstances only 20% of patients who have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survive to hospital discharge. Therefore, aggressive treatment and screening of high-risk patients are mandatory to improve survival rates. Risk stratification of high-risk patients, such as the post-myocardial infarction ...

متن کاملPredicting sudden cardiac death in heart failure.
Ahmad et al. (1) suggest that biomarkers related to myocardial stress and fibrosis add some weight to the prediction of mode of death in patients with heart failure–reduced ejection fraction (HF-REF), particularly pump failure as opposed to sudden cardiac death (SCD). A variety of biomarkers have been shown to predict adverse ventricular remodeling/progressive pump failure, including natriureti...
متن کاملThe challenge of predicting and preventing sudden cardiac death immediately after myocardial infarction.
The prediction and prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in high-risk patients immediately after myocardial infarction (MI) remain daunting challenges.1 With widespread advances in the treatment of ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and pharmacological therapy, sudden death and total mortality have decreased.2–4 However, mortality immediatel...
