Aims Sudden cardiac death (SCD) annual incidence is 0.6–1% in post-myocardial infarction
(MI) patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)≥ 40%. No recommendations for …

Aims To determine whether risk stratification tests can predict serious arrhythmic events after
acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction …

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) …

Aims An understanding of the temporal trends on the risks of arrhythmic death (AD) vs. non-
arrhythmic deaths (NAD) after myocardial infarction (MI) is crucial in deciding the optimal …

Background—A negative electrophysiology study (EPS) may delineate a subgroup of
patients with severely impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) whose care can be …

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) accounts for∼ 50% of mortality after myocardial infarction (MI).
Most SCDs result from ventricular tachyarrhythmias, and the tachycardias that precipitate …

OBJECTIVES The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the role of programmed
ventricular stimulation (PVS) after noninvasive risk stratification to identify a subgroup of …

Objectives: This study hypothesizes that a lack of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
recovery after myocardial infarction (MI) would be associated with a poor outcome …

Many patients who survive an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remain at risk of sudden
cardiac death despite optimal medical treatment. AMI survivors are currently risk assessed …

Background Risk stratification for ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden death in
nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains suboptimal. Objectives The goal of this …
