Implication

Terminal rhythms in monitored sudden death favor VF; hypothesis-generating for ectopy in risk stratification.

Structured PICO

What are the terminal rhythms and preceding electrocardiographic events in patients experiencing sudden death during Holter monitoring?

P
Population
21 patients (6 new cases, 15 from literature) who experienced sudden death while undergoing Holter monitoring, all with advanced myocardial disease.
I
Intervention
Holter monitoring
O
Outcome
Electrocardiographic findings (terminal rhythm and preceding events) at the time of sudden deathhard clinical

Sudden death during Holter monitoring is predominantly caused by ventricular fibrillation preceded by complex ventricular ectopic activity in patients with advanced myocardial disease.
