SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH: PROBLEM OF RISK STRATIFICATION AND CHOICE OF THERAPY
https://doi.org/10.20996/1819-6446-2011-7-2-212-218
Abstract
The main issues of sudden cardiac death (SCD) epidemiology and risk stratification were considered. High efficacy SCD prevention with implanted cardioverter-defibrillators is shown. However they are rarely implemented in the real practice. That is why the main current approach to SCD prevention is pharmacotherapy. Overview of various drugs is given. The largest evidence base and proven efficacy have beta-blockers among all available drugs for SCD prevention.
