Key result
A risk stratification algorithm combining multiple electrocardiographic parameters may best identify patients at increased risk of sudden cardiac death, improving patient selection for ICD therapy.
Why the study?
Do noninvasive electrocardiographic indices predict sudden cardiac death in at-risk patients?
Do noninvasive electrocardiographic indices predict sudden cardiac death in at-risk patients?
A combination of electrocardiographic parameters, rather than a single index, may offer the best approach for risk-stratifying patients for sudden cardiac death to guide ICD therapy.

May refine SCD risk stratification beyond single ECG indices; hypothesis-generating for ICD selection and requires prospective validation.
Mary G. Carey (2008) conducted a review in Sudden cardiac death. Electrocardiographic parameters was evaluated. A risk stratification algorithm combining multiple electrocardiographic parameters may best identify patients at increased risk of sudden cardiac death, improving patient selection for ICD therapy.
