  • Risk of sudden versus nonsudden cardiac death in patients with coronary artery disease.

    Every N, Hallstrom A, McDonald KM, Parsons L, Thom D, Weaver D, Hlatky MA. Am Heart J. 2002; 144 (3): 390-6

    Patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death, yet at low risk of nonsudden death, might be ideal candidates for antiarrhythmic drugs or devices. Most previous studies of prognostic markers for sudden cardiac death have ignored the competitive risk of nonsudden cardiac death. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the ability of clinical factors to distinguish the risks of sudden and nonsudden cardiac death.
