Sudden cardiac death in patients with heart failure.

Abstract:

:Sudden cardiac death accounts for up to one half of the heart failure deaths each year. Thus, an understanding of the possible mechanisms, markers, and treatments of sudden cardiac death is an important component in the care of this patient population. This article discusses recent hypotheses as well as both preventative and interruptive therapies for sudden cardiac death in heart failure.
