Arrhythmia Risk Stratification after Myocardial Infarction
Summary Post-myocardial infarction ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death risk remain important issues in these patients. In high-risk post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) may significantly improve survival. Risk stratification studies of post-MI patients will allow ICD therapy to be applied in a more cost-effective manner....
متن کاملNew Methods for the Analysis of Heartbeat Behavior in Risk Stratification
Developing better methods for risk stratification for tachyarrhythmic sudden cardiac remains a major challenge for physicians and scientists. Since the transition from sinus rhythm to ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation happens by different mechanisms in different people, it is unrealistic to think that a single measure will be adequate to provide a good index for risk stratification. We analy...
متن کاملPrediction of Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients at Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death
Sudden cardiac deaths remain the major cause of mortality in the western world. Ventricular arrhythmia due to ischemic heart disease is the most frequent cause of sudden cardiac death. In patients >35 years of age, ischemic heart disease is the most frequent cause of ventricular arrhythmias. In patients <35 years of age, inherited cardiac diseases play a significant role in sudden cardiac death...
متن کاملThe Effect of Opium Addiction on Cardiac Arrhythmia after Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background & Aims: This study was carried out to assess the effect of opium addiction on the incidence of different types of arrhythmias after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: The study population consisted of 200 patients with first AMI admitted within 6 hours of the onset of chest pain to the coronary care units (CCU) of two hospitals affiliated to Kerman University of Medical Scie...
متن کاملT wave alternans for ventricular arrhythmia risk stratification.
Sudden cardiac death remains one of the leading causes of death in Europe and the United States. Accordingly, the ability to identify patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death is important so that appropriate treatments can be used efficiently. Recently, T wave alternans (TWA) has emerged as a promising new test for such risk stratification. TWA is a heart rate dependent measure of arrhythm...
