Predicting Sudden Death in the Population
Background—Sudden death was found to share the same set of usual risk factors as coronary events and therefore could not be specifically predicted in the population. It appears, however, that parental history of sudden death has not been investigated yet as a risk factor for sudden death. Therefore, we assessed risk factors, including parental sudden death, associated with the occurrence of sud...
متن کاملPredicting sudden death in the general population: another step, N terminal B-type natriuretic factor levels.
Despite increased awareness and advances in resuscitation methodology, the average national survival from sudden cardiac arrest in North America remains 4.5%, ranging from 1.1% in the state of Alabama to 8.1% in Seattle, Wash.1 Given this 95% probability of instantaneous death once cardiac arrest occurs, the pursuit to identify effective preventive interventions must be unrelenting. The implant...

متن کاملPredicting sudden cardiac death in heart failure.
Ahmad et al. (1) suggest that biomarkers related to myocardial stress and fibrosis add some weight to the prediction of mode of death in patients with heart failure–reduced ejection fraction (HF-REF), particularly pump failure as opposed to sudden cardiac death (SCD). A variety of biomarkers have been shown to predict adverse ventricular remodeling/progressive pump failure, including natriureti...
