Improved Stratification of Autonomic Regulation for risk prediction in post-infarction patients with preserved left ventricular function (ISAR-Risk)
AIMS To investigate the combination of heart rate turbulence (HRT) and deceleration capacity (DC) as risk predictors in post-infarction patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) > 30%. METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 2343 consecutive survivors of acute myocardial infarction (MI) (<76 years) in sinus rhythm. HRT and DC were obtained from 24 h Holter recordings. Patients with both...
متن کاملAnalysis of 12-lead T-wave morphology for risk stratification after myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND The stratification of post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients at risk of sudden cardiac death remains important. The aim of the present study was to assess the prognostic value of novel T-wave morphology descriptors derived from resting 12-lead ECGs. METHODS AND RESULTS In 280 consecutive post-MI patients, a 12-lead ECG was recorded before discharge, optically scanned, and digitiz...
متن کاملHeart rate turbulence — an overview of methods and applications
Heart rate turbulence (HRT) is a relatively new but already well-established non-invasive ECG risk predictor. It has been confirmed as a strong predictor of mortality in large populations of post-infarction patients treated with both classical and modern methods. There have been contradictory results regarding its predictive value in other high-risk populations (idiopathic dilated cardiomyopath...
متن کاملRisk stratification for arrhythmic events: are the bangs worth the bucks?
More than 800,000 North Americans are admitted to the hospital each year with an acute myocardial infarction (MI) (1,2). Most of these patients survive until hospital discharge, but a substantial number of the survivors will die of out-of-hospital arrhythmic events (3). Approximately half the deaths that occur following acute MI are attributable to recurrent ischemic events or to congestive hea...
متن کاملRisk stratification of mortality in patients with heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction >35%.
The population of patients with heart failure (HF) and mild to moderate left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is growing, and mortality remains high. There is a need for better risk stratification of patients who might benefit from primary prevention of mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of Holter-based parameters for predicting mortality in patients with HF with LV ejecti...
