Diagnosis
Economics
Harm/ aetiology
Prognosis
Therapy
Heart failure
ejection fraction, functional class, non ischaemic heart disease and frequency of ventricular fibrillation increase risk of death.
Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date October 2003
Heart failure
nonsustained ventricular tachycardia increased the risk of death.
Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date October 2003
Myocardial infarction
age over 70, cardiac arrest, Killip class and anterior MI increased the risk of dying following a ventricular arrhythmia.
Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date October 2004
Myocardial infarction
premature ventricular beats affected prognosis.
Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date October 2004
Myocardial infarction
cardiogenic shock and arrhythmias were common in the first 30 days.
Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date February 2004
Syncope
frequent or repetitive PVCs on ECG monitoring predicted death in patients with unexplained syncope.
Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date October 2004
Syncope
a clinical prediction rule can indicate which patients are at high risk of arrhythmias and death.
Level of evidence 1a Expiry Date October 2004
Tachycardia
low ejection fraction, female gender and conventional therapy increase the risk of a shock from an implanted defibrillator.
Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date October 2004
Tachyarrhythmia
ventricular: death was common especially with heart disease
Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date October 2003
