Does the presence of right bundle-branch block and ST-segment elevation in V1-V3 predict sudden death or ventricular fibrillation in men with suspected sudden unexplained death syndrome?
Right bundle-branch block and ST-segment elevation in V1-V3 is a strong arrhythmogenic marker identifying patients at high risk of ventricular fibrillation or sudden death in sudden unexplained death syndrome.
