Electrocardiographic Markers and the Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction have Cumulative Effects on Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death.
OBJECTIVES To assess potential improvement in SCD risk prediction by adding selected risk markers from the 12-lead ECG to measurement of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). BACKGROUND Novel strategies to improve risk stratification for sudden cardiac death (SCD) are needed. Given the modest odds associated with most individual risk markers, combining multiple markers may be a usefu...
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 کاملSudden Cardiac Death Predicting the Future Risk Stratification for Sudden Cardiac Death in Patients With Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Risk stratification for any disease is, in many ways, medicine’s attempt to predict the future. The challenges in risk stratification for sudden death, however, may be unparalleled in medicine. Although the many types of sudden death all present with similar phenotypes, risk stratification efforts generally center on the prediction of death resulting from either ischemic or arrhythmic events. T...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Diameter and Risk Stratification for Sudden Cardiac Death
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) diameter is routinely measured on the echocardiogram but has not been jointly evaluated with the ejection fraction (EF) for risk stratification of sudden cardiac death (SCD). METHODS AND RESULTS From a large ongoing community-based study of SCD (The Oregon Sudden Unexpected Death Study; population ≈1 million), SCD cases were compared with geographic controls. ...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Geometry and Risk of Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Patients With Severely Reduced Ejection Fraction
BACKGROUND Recent reports indicate that specific left ventricular (LV) geometric patterns predict recurrent ventricular arrhythmias in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, this relationship has not been evaluated among patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in the general population. METHODS AND RESULTS ...
