Prediction of sudden cardiac death after myocardial infarction in the beta-blocking era.
OBJECTIVES This study assessed the predictive power of arrhythmia risk markers after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND Several risk variables have been suggested to predict the occurrence of sudden cardiac death (SCD), but the utility of these variables has not been well established among patients using medical therapy according to contemporary guidelines. METHODS A consecuti...
متن کاملNatriuretic peptides as predictors of non-sudden and sudden cardiac death after acute myocardial infarction in the beta-blocking era.
OBJECTIVES This prospective study tested whether the natriuretic peptides predict cardiac death among patients using beta-blocking therapy after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND Natriuretic peptides have provided prognostic information after AMI, but their predictive value has not been well established in the era of beta-blocker use. METHODS A series of 521 patients (mean ag...
متن کاملPrediction of sudden cardiac death after acute myocardial infarction: role of Holter monitoring in the modern treatment era.
AIMS Current treatment may have changed the risk profiles of survivors of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We evaluated the utility of Holter-based risk variables in the prediction of sudden cardiac death (SCD) among survivors of AMI treated with modern therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 2130 AMI patients (mean age 59 +/- 10 years) were included. The patients were treated with modern t...
متن کاملSudden death after myocardial infarction.
CONTEXT Sudden cardiac death after myocardial infarction (MI) has not been assessed recently in the community. Risk stratification for sudden cardiac death after MI commonly relies on baseline characteristics and little is known about the relationship between recurrent ischemia or heart failure and sudden cardiac death. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk of sudden cardiac death after MI and the i...
متن کاملSudden and Nonsudden Cardiac Death After Myocardial Infarction
The role of ventricular ectopic beats (VEBs) in identifying patients who die of cardiac cause in the posthospital phase of myocardial infarction was evaluated in 940 patients who survived an acute coronary event. Six-hour Holter ECG recordings were obtained before hospital discharge, and VEBs were classified as complex (bigeminal, multiform, repetitive or R on T), simple (one or more VEBs that ...
