Why the study?
Does the presence of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia predict sudden cardiac death in patients with left ventricular dysfunction?
Does the presence of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia predict sudden cardiac death in patients with left ventricular dysfunction?
The absence of NSVT indicates a low probability of sudden cardiac death in patients with left ventricular dysfunction, suggesting its potential utility in risk stratification.
May refine SCD risk stratification and ICD selection in LVSD; extends meta-analytic support for NSVT as a prognostic marker.
Absence of NSVT indicated a low probability of SCD in patients with LVSD. A risk score including NSVT should be evaluated in prospective studies.
