Reinforces cardiovascular mortality focus in heart failure care; leaves open refined sudden cardiac death risk stratification across ejection fractions.
This review provides an update on current strategies for sudden cardiac death risk stratification in patients with both preserved and reduced ejection fraction heart failure.
Masarone et al. (2018) conducted a review in Heart failure. Sudden cardiac death risk stratification was evaluated. More than 80% of deaths in patients with heart failure have a cardiovascular cause, highlighting the need for updated sudden cardiac death risk stratification strategies.
