Predicting 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 کاملAsian Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure (ASIAN-HF) registry.
AIMS Our aim is to determine mortality and morbidity in Asian patients under clinical management for heart failure (HF). Specifically, we will define the incidence of, and risk factors for, sudden cardiac death, as well as the socio-cultural factors influencing therapeutic choices in these patients. Methods This is a prospective observational multinational Asian registry of 5000 patients with s...
متن کاملHomoarginine, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death in haemodialysis patients
AIMS Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major contributor to the excess mortality of patients on maintenance dialysis. Homoarginine deficiency may lead to decreased nitric oxide availability and endothelial dysfunction. Based on this rationale we assessed whether homoarginine deficiency is a risk factor for SCD in dialysis patients. METHODS AND RESULTS This study examined the association of homo...
