Sudden Cardiac Death Risk Assessment

摘要: Sudden cardiac death is a major issue in patients with HCM. The young are at particular risk for SCD, while those over 60 less affected by SCD. There five traditional factors sudden HCM, including: massively thick myocardium, unexplained syncope, family history of SCD due to nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, and hypotensive response exercise. Currently, an ICD recommended resuscitated and/or sustained reasonable massive hypertrophy (>3 cm), syncope also NSVT or abnormal blood pressure exercise, but usually when combined other markers heightened risk.
