The primary objective of this study is risk stratification of patients with arrhythmic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC).
There is a need to identify those who need an automatic implantable defibrillator (ICD) to prevent sudden death.
This is an analysis of 88 patients with ARVC from three centers who were not treated with an ICD.
Risk factors for subsequent arrhythmic deaths were pre-enrollment sustained or nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and decreased left ventricular function.
These factors serve as proposed guidelines for implantation of an ICD in patients with ARVC to prevent sudden death.
本研究的主要目的是对心律失常性右室心肌病(ARVC)患者进行危险分层。
有必要识别出那些需要植入自动植入式除颤器(ICD)以预防猝死的患者。
这是一项对来自三个中心的88例未接受ICD治疗的ARVC患者的分析。
后续心律失常性死亡的危险因素为入组前持续性或非持续性室性心动过速(VT)以及左心室功能下降。
这些因素可作为ARVC患者植入ICD以预防猝死的拟议指南。
