Risk stratification after myocardial infarction: it is time for intervention.
Despite significant advances in interventional and pharmacological therapies, late mortality after acute myocardial infarction (MI) is still high. Approximately 50% of cardiovascular deaths after MI occur suddenly and are potentially preventable by prophylactic implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). In recent decades, substantial efforts have been made to identify high-risk patient...

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 کاملUniversal Definition of Myocardial Infarction: Clinical Insights
Aims: The universal definition of myocardial infarction (MI) classifies acute ischaemia into different classes according to lesion mechanism. Our aim was to perform a detailed comparison between these different types of MI in terms of baseline characteristics, management and prognosis. Methods and Results: An observational retrospective single-centre cohort study was performed, including 1,000 ...
