May inform targeted risk assessment in post-MI and HF patients; leaves open its role for SCD stratification in the general population.
Does heart rate variability (HRV) evaluation predict sudden cardiac death and mortality in post-myocardial infarction, heart failure, and general populations?
While low HRV predicts mortality in high-risk post-MI and HF patients, its utility as a standalone tool for SCD risk stratification in the general population is limited.
