Early Risk stratification for Arrhythmic death in Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND Sudden cardiac death is a leading cause of death in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI). According to high cost of modern therapeutic modalities it is of paramount importance to define protocols for risk stratification of post-MI patients before considering expensive devices such as implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. METHODS One hundred and thirty seven patie...
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 کاملRisk stratification after myocardial infarction: is left ventricular ejection fraction enough to prevent sudden cardiac death?
Patients who have experienced a myocardial infarction (MI) are at increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). With the advent of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), accurate risk stratification has become very relevant. Numerous investigations have proven that a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) significantly increases the SCD risk. Furthermore, ICD implantation in...
متن کاملPrediction of sudden cardiac death after acute myocardial infarction: role of Holter monitoring in the modern treatment era.
AIMS Current treatment may have changed the risk profiles of survivors of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We evaluated the utility of Holter-based risk variables in the prediction of sudden cardiac death (SCD) among survivors of AMI treated with modern therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 2130 AMI patients (mean age 59 +/- 10 years) were included. The patients were treated with modern t...
متن کاملPredictive value of microvolt T-wave alternans for sudden cardiac death in patients with preserved cardiac function after acute myocardial infarction: results of a collaborative cohort study.
OBJECTIVES We conducted a collaborative cohort study to evaluate the predictive power of microvolt T-wave alternans (TWA) in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after myocardial infarction (MI). BACKGROUND There is little information available about the prognostic value of risk stratification markers in this population. Although these patients have a relatively g...
