Key result
Entropy of cardiac repolarization predicts ventricular arrhythmias and mortality, significantly increasing net reclassification and ROC curve area in primary prevention ICD patients.
Why the study?
Does entropy of cardiac repolarization predict ventricular arrhythmias and mortality in patients receiving an ICD for primary prevention of sudden death?
Does entropy of cardiac repolarization predict ventricular arrhythmias and mortality in patients receiving an ICD for primary prevention of sudden death?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Entropy of cardiac repolarization is a novel non-linear measure that complements conventional risk predictors for ventricular arrhythmias and mortality in primary prevention ICD patients.
METHODS AND RESULTS: to a model comprised of the exposures or SHFS significantly increased net reclassification and the ROC curve area. CONCLUSIONS: complements conventional risk predictors and has the potential for broad clinical application.
