Results from the Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure Trial (SCD-HeFT) have shown that simple, single-lead, shock-only ICD therapy reduced mortality in patients with congestive heart failure, whereas amiodarone provided no survival benefit.

Brown received a visit from a 'male stranger' prior to his sudden death For his part, Dr. Crawford recalls Brown being admitted to the hospital on December 23 with “symptoms of early congestive heart failure and signs of a mild heart attack.” Brown's urine also allegedly tested positive ...
Furthermore, to guide decisions regarding ICD placement, adjunctive imaging approaches should discriminate cause-specific risk for SCA from the competing risk of death from congestive heart failure (CHF) (4). LV dyssynchrony by echocardiography and phase analysis of single-photon emission computed ...
This prospective study of 200 stable outpatients with New York Hospital Association (NYHA) class III congestive heart failure on maximal medical therapy was done to determine which factors affect survival, to record the incidence of sudden death, and to identify prognostic features which characterize ...
Figure 3. Potential prognostic value of cell death for outcome after acute congestive heart failure. Patients were grouped as survivors (n = 9) or non-survivors (n = 13). While no significant difference for M30 (A) as well as the M30/M65 ratio (B) were observed, d-dimers differed sign...
AF usually is responsible for higher heart rate, is considered to be a consequence of more advanced myocardial damage leading to greater risk of cardiovascular death. It can be supposed that the presence of AF in patients with congestive heart failure predicts poor prognosis. The aim of the ...
(calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared), coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, current smoking status, active cancer, duration of symptoms before ICU admission, and covariates assessed at ICU admission (lymphocyte count,...
Death within 1 h of the onset of acute symptoms.Description Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an important public health problem, with an annual incidence estimated between 180,000 and 250,000 cases in the United States. The working definition of SCD is death within 1 h of the onset of sympto...
Chronic inflammation is sometimes referred to as the ‘silent killer’ because it often causes no symptoms at all, yet simmers silently until suddenly you’re diagnosed with a chronic disease. Therearesome symptoms to watch out for, though, which are often confused with other conditions. If you...
