Sudden cardiac arrest survivors

1. Guidelines - ESC

2. Study case

According to 2022 ESC guidelines on the prevention of sudden cardiac death, in patients with coronary artery disease, left ventricular ejection fraction <40%, NYHA I and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia an ICD should be considered if one of the following criteria is met:

 

A. MRI shows transmural fibrosis (late gadolinium enhancement (LGE)) in at least

3 segments

 

B. There are 2 first-degree family members with sudden cardiac death

 

C. MRI shows a ventricular aneurysm and a reduced right ventricular function

 

D. Inducible ischemia in the LAD territory demostrated at non-invasive ischemia

detection

 

E. Inducible for sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia at programmed

electrical stimulation

Respons :

Inducible for sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia at programmed electrical stimulation
