Ventricular arrhythmia in coronary artery disease: limits of a risk stratification strategy based on the ejection fraction alone and impact of infarct localization
Europace, 11/02/09

Pascale P et al. – Patients included in defibrillator trials represent only a minority of the patients at risk of sudden cardiac death. By applying the current risk stratification strategy based on LVEF, more than one third of the patients with old MI would not have qualified for a prophylactic defibrillator. The study also suggests that inferior scars may be more prone to ventricular arrhythmia compared to anterior scars.
