Combining a non-invasive multimodal imaging approach with provocative manoeuvres to improve risk prediction for sudden cardiac death in ischemic cardiomyopathy. KU Leuven
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) by cardiac rhythm disturbances is an important cause of death in our
society. Coronary artery disease is the most common cause of SCD. The triggers for these lethal
arrhythmias are poorly understood and current risk prediction for SCD is unsatisfactory. We
hypothesize that including assessment of triggers together with a combination of
electrocardiographic and imaging studies can improve ...
