Can a new prediction model based on clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic parameters accurately estimate the risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in adults with transposition of the great arteries and a systemic right ventricle?
A newly devised prediction model using clinical, ECG, and echocardiographic parameters may help identify adult patients with a systemic right ventricle at high risk for sudden cardiac death who could benefit from primary prevention ICD implantation.
Sudden cardiac death remains a devastating cause of death in a contemporary adult cohort with a sRV. A prediction model based on clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic parameters was devised to estimate MARE risk and to identify high-risk patients who may benefit from primary prevention ICD implantation.
