| Core Tip |
An effective arrhythmic risk stratification approach based on two steps is proposed for the detection of truly high arrhythmic risk patients among ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy groups: In the first step, patients are screened for several non-invasive risk factors (NIRFs). When even one of these NIRFs is present, patients proceed to the second step, i.e., an electrophysiological study with programmed ventricular stimulation. An implantable cardiac defibrillator is offered to the inducible patients. We also suggest the incorporation of an electrophysiological study in the arrhythmic risk stratification approach among low-risk groups of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients. |
