Patients developing VF in the setting of acute MI are at higher risk of in-hospital mortality. However, VF is not associated with a higher long-term all-cause or sudden cardiac death mortality.
Elimination of frequent isolated PVC in patients with DCM with RF can normalize the clinical status and LV systolic function and dimensions, regardless of the morphology or origin of the PVC.
When compared with DDD pacing at 70 bpm, ATA prevention algorithms have not demonstrated significant efficacy. However, a subgroup of patients with preserved native AV conduction (low percentage of ventricular pacing) responded to ATA prevention algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
