Risk Factors for Arrhythmic Death, Overall Mortality, and Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias Requiring Shock After Myocardial Infarction
2023, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Our finding that elevated HR at rest was associated with arrhythmic mortality, all-cause mortality, and VT requiring appropriate shock is supported by previous studies. Elevated HR at rest has been previously shown to be a risk factor for adverse cardiovascular outcomes, particularly in patients with heart failure or acute coronary syndrome,13–17 with β-blocker use being protective.18 In patients with ICDs, increased HR is associated with mortality.19
Biventricular pacing for weaning from extracorporeal circulation in heart failure
2002, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryConcomitant β-blocker therapy is associated with a lower occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with decompensated heart failure
2002, Journal of Cardiac FailureCitation Excerpt :However, data from the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial study indicate that heart failure status appears to be a more significant predictor than ejection fraction.26,27 Ejection fraction predicts ventricular arrhythmia particularly in patients with no history or no clinical heart failure, and the utility of this variable diminishes once its value declines to <20%.26,28 Therefore, the inclusion of this variable in the multivariate analysis in our population (decompensated heart failure requiring hospitalization and intravenous vasoactive drugs) is unlikely to produce significantly different results.
