[Factors affecting onset of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy].
The study of 46 patients suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy has shown that both ventricular tachycardias detected at 24-h ECG monitoring and late ventricular potentials are essential predictors of sudden arrhythmic death. These predictors depend neither on severity of left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction nor on severity of cardiac decompensation.
