Sudden cardiac death risk stratification.
Arrhythmic sudden cardiac death (SCD) may be caused by ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation or pulseless electric activity/asystole. Effective risk stratification to identify patients at risk of arrhythmic SCD is essential for targeting our healthcare and research resources to tackle this important public health issue. Although our understanding of SCD because of pulseless electric activity/asy...
متن کاملPlasma 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 کاملA novel clinical risk prediction model for sudden cardiac death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM risk-SCD).
AIMS Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young adults. Current risk algorithms provide only a crude estimate of risk and fail to account for the different effect size of individual risk factors. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a new SCD risk prediction model that provides individualized risk estimates. METHODS AND RESULTS The...
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...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Diameter and Risk Stratification for Sudden Cardiac Death
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) diameter is routinely measured on the echocardiogram but has not been jointly evaluated with the ejection fraction (EF) for risk stratification of sudden cardiac death (SCD). METHODS AND RESULTS From a large ongoing community-based study of SCD (The Oregon Sudden Unexpected Death Study; population ≈1 million), SCD cases were compared with geographic controls. ...
