Risk stratification of severe sepsis patients in the emergency department.
OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of the Mortality in Emergency Department Sepsis (MEDS) score in the stratification of patients who presented to the emergency department (ED) with severe sepsis. METHODS Adults who presented to the ED with severe sepsis were retrospectively recruited and divided into group A (MEDS score <12) and group B (MEDS score > or =12). Their outcomes were evaluated w...
متن کاملRisk stratification for arrhythmic death in an emergency department cohort: a new method of nonlinear PD2i analysis of the ECG
Heart rate variability (HRV) reflects both cardiac autonomic function and risk of sudden arrhythmic death (AD). Indices of HRV based on linear stochastic models are independent risk factors for AD in postmyocardial infarction (MI) cohorts. Indices based on nonlinear deterministic models have a higher sensitivity and specificity for predicting AD in retrospective data. A new nonlinear determinis...
متن کاملRisk stratification for arrhythmic sudden cardiac death: identifying the roadblocks.
Athough it is difficult to determine the precise number, the range for the number of sudden cardiac deaths (SCDs) per year in the United States alone has been reported from 184 000 to 462 000,1 with estimates that 50% to 70% are due to tachyarrhythmic mechanisms. Regardless of where within this range the true number lies, this represents a large epidemiological problem that warrants serious att...
متن کاملNovel conduction-repolarization indices for the stratification of arrhythmic risk
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) affects approximately 800,000 individuals per annum globally. It is most frequently due to cardiac tachy-arrhythmias, which include mono-morphic or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT), torsade de pointes and ventricular fibrillation (VF). Risk stratification for SCD remains a challenging problem in clinical practice. Patients with structural heart disease or card...
متن کاملArrhythmic Risk Stratification by Programmed Ventricular Stimulation in Brugada Syndrome
One of the most controversial issues debated by cardiac electrophysiologists during the past decade has been whether programmed ventricular stimulation (PVS) plays any role in the arrhythmic risk stratification of the Brugada syndrome (BrS). The results of the multicenter study published in 2003 by the Brugada brothers were unequivocal. In a study involving 408 BrS individuals with no previous ...
