Primary Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death in Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Background—Patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and impaired left ventricular ejection fraction have an increased risk of dying suddenly. Methods and Results—Patients with recent onset of DCM ( 9 months) and an ejection fraction 30% were randomly assigned to the implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or control. The primary end point of the trial was al...

متن کاملSudden cardiac death risk in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
It is well recognized that sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an infrequent, unpredictable, but catastrophic complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). In population-based studies the overall SCD rate is 1% per year among patients with a clinical diagnosis of HCM. A crucial aspect of the management of patients with HCM is an assessment of each individual patient’s risk for SCD so that preven...
متن کاملSudden cardiac death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Introduction Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common disorder of cardiac muscle associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD). HCM is defined by increased left ventricular wall thickness or mass, in the absence of abnormal loading conditions to account for the observed abnormality. In most adults, the disease is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and is caused by mutations in cardiac s...
متن کاملPrevention of Sudden Death in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
C ase presentation: A 14-yearold girl died suddenly and unexpectedly while exercising. Clinical and echocardiographic family screening identified hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in her only sibling, an asymptomatic 17-year-old boy. In her brother, echocardiography showed extreme septal ventricular hypertrophy, 35 mm in thickness; left ventricular (LV) outflow obstruction was absent. Left atri...
