摘要: Dilative cardiomyopathy (DCM) has an inci- dence of 5-8/100,000 inhabitants, and hy- pertrophic incidence 1/500 inhabitants. Depending on specific risk factors both conditions have increased for sudden cardiac death (SCD): in DCM reduced left ventricular ejection fraction physical capacity; HCM SCD family members, septum > 30 mm, unclear sync ope, non-sustained tachycardia (VT) holter-ECG inadequate blood pressure response ergometer. Especially patients with interme- diary are insufficiently classified, the lifesaving implantation a cardio- verter-defibrillator (ICD) often leads to sig- nificant number device-related complica- tions. In this area additional methods like late enhancement imaging cardio MRI, iden- tification genetic variation ECG charac- teristics could help improve stratification these patients.
