Time trends in sudden cardiac death risk in heart failure patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
AIMS: While data from randomized trials suggest a declining incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) among heart failure patients, the extent to which such a trend is present among patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has not been evaluated. We therefore assessed changes in SCD incidence, and associated factors, in CRT recipients over the last 20 years.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Literature search from inception to 30 April ...
Very long-term survival and late sudden cardiac death in cardiac resynchronization therapy patients Vrije Universiteit Brussel
AIMS: The very long-term outcome of patients who survive the first few years after receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has not been well described thus far. We aimed to provide long-term outcomes, especially with regard to the occurrence of sudden cardiac death (SCD), in CRT patients without (CRT-P) and with defibrillator (CRT-D).
METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 1775 patients, with ischaemic or non-ischaemic dilated ...
Epidemiology of Sudden Cardiac Death Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Despite recent progress in the management of cardiovascular disorders generally, and cardiac arrhythmias in particular, sudden cardiac death remains both a problem for the practising clinician and a major public health issue. An estimate for global annual incidence of sudden cardiac death would be in the range of 4 to 5 million cases per year. Information about the causes and mechanisms of the sudden cardiac death syndrome suggests that a ...
