Heart rate variability as a predictor of sudden cardiac death.
Different noninvasive approaches have been developed for risk stratification of patients with myocardial infarction and heart failure with aim to select patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death who might mostly benefit from preventive therapy. Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) was a strong predictor of mortality in myocardial infarction and heart failure in early studies. However, in th...
متن کاملQRS as a Risk Stratification Tool: Putting the Fragments Together
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is the currently accepted treatment for prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Left ventricular ejection fraction is the only useful tool currently available to risk stratify patients at risk of SCD. Several other parameters have been studied for further risk stratification of SCD. Selection of appropriate subjects will improve the efficacy of tre...
متن کاملClinical Application of Heart Rate Variability after Acute Myocardial Infarction
Heart rate (HR) variability has been extensively studied in patients surviving an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The majority of studies have shown that patients with reduced or abnormal HR variability/turbulence have an increased risk of mortality within few years after an AMI. Various measures of HR dynamics, such as time-domain, spectral, and non-linear measures of HR variability, as wel...
متن کاملRisk stratification in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy: Current perspectives.
The clinical goals of risk stratification of sudden death are to identify subjects who are at high risk of, and eventually to reduce the incidence of, sudden death. Numerous studies have described risk stratification techniques for serious cardiac events in patients following myocardial infarction. However, relatively little information is available regarding nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy....
متن کاملRisk stratification for sudden cardiac death after acute myocardial infarction.
Many patients who survive an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remain at risk of recurrent cardiac events and sudden cardiac death after discharge, despite optimal medical treatment. Assessment of the degree of left ventricular dysfunction and residual myocardial ischaemia is useful to identify the patients at greatest risk. In addition, there is increasing evidence that a number of other cardi...
