A validation study of the 2003 American College of Cardiology/European Society of Cardiology and 2011 American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association risk stratification and treatment algorithms for sudden cardiac death in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Structured PICO

Do the 2003 ACC/ESC and 2011 ACCF/AHA risk stratification algorithms accurately distinguish high from low risk of sudden cardiac death in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

Population

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Intervention

2003 ACC/ESC and 2011 ACCF/AHA risk stratification and treatment algorithms for sudden cardiac death

Outcome

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk stratification accuracyhard clinical

The 2003 ACC/ESC and 2011 ACCF/AHA risk stratification algorithms have limited power in distinguishing high from low risk of sudden cardiac death in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract

The risk of SCD increases with the aggregation of RF. The 2003 ACC/ESC and 2011 ACCF/AHA guidelines distinguish high from low risk individuals with limited power.
