Does segmented Poincaré plot analysis (SPPA) improve risk stratification for sudden cardiac death in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy?
Segmented Poincaré plot analysis of heart rate variability may provide a novel index for risk stratification of sudden cardiac death in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
