Outcomes of patients admitted with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in the United States
2019, Heart RhythmCitation Excerpt :These findings support the potential utility of these simple variables when incorporated into SCD risk scores or models.21 SCD occurs in different population groups, but a large subset includes patients without previously known heart disease.24 Interestingly, in our study, 20% of the patients admitted with SCD due to VA had CCI = 0, that is, many of these patients could have been considered “low risk” based on their clinical profile.
