Predictive value of microvolt T-wave alternans in patients with left ventricular dysfunction. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the utility of microvolt T-wave alternans (TWA) in predicting arrhythmia-free survival and total mortality in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. BACKGROUND: Microvolt TWA has been proposed as a useful tool in identifying patients unlikely to benefit from prophylaxis with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) prophylaxis. METHODS: We evaluated 286 patients with an LV ejection fraction
