Does a cumulative ECG risk score predict sudden cardiac death beyond left ventricular ejection fraction?
A novel cumulative ECG risk score independently predicts sudden cardiac death, offering a potential risk stratification tool for patients with LVEF >35%.
This novel cumulative ECG risk score was independently associated with SCD and was particularly effective for LVEF >35% where risk stratification is currently unavailable. These findings warrant further evaluation in prospective clinical investigations.
Aro et al. (2017) studied this question.
