Risk factors for cardiac death in women with coronary artery disease

I S King, M Anette Eskuri, Lauri Holmström, Antti M. Kiviniemi et autres

Abstract Aims Coronary artery disease affects a substantial proportion of women, who may exhibit distinct disease progression and outcomes compared with men. This study aimed to investigate potential markers linked to cardiac death in women with coronary artery disease. Methods and results …

Sudden Cardiac Death Risk Prediction From QT–RR Adaptation Time Lag Computed From Exercise Stress Test ECG

Juan Pablo Martí­nez, Julia Ramírez, Tuomas Kenttä, Juhani Junttila et autres

OBJETIVE: This study aims to evaluate the QT adaptation time following gradual heart rate changes estimated from exercise stress test (EST) ECGs as a marker of sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk. The predicted risk value for any cardiovascular death (CVD) is also …

Angina pectoris after coronary angiography or revascularization in pre- and postmenopausal women with coronary artery disease

M A E Eskuri, Tuomas Kenttä, AM Kiviniemi, Mikko P. Tulppo et autres

Abstract Background Menopause is a known risk factor of coronary artery disease (CAD) in women. Earlier studies indicate that the incidence of angina pectoris (AP) increases with age. Some studies suggest that menopause would be a risk factor for AP in women …

Age-related trends of ischemic sudden cardiac death in women

Ida Hookana, M A E Eskuri, Lasse Holmström, Jyrki Vähätalo et autres

•After the age of 60, most sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) in women are ischemic origin.•The clinical profile of ischemic SCD in women is age-dependent.•Overweight is more common among younger women with SCD.•Myocardial scars and fibrosis are more common in older ischemic SCD …

Lack of Prognostic Value of T‐Wave Alternans for Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Benefit in Primary Prevention

Ari Pelli, Tuomas Kenttä, Juhani Junttila, Cynthia Huber et autres

Background New methods to identify patients who benefit from a primary prophylactic implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) are needed. T‐wave alternans (TWA) has been shown to associate with arrhythmogenesis of the heart and sudden cardiac death. We hypothesized that TWA might be associated with …

ECG risk markers among premenopausal and postmenopausal SCD victims

M A E Eskuri, Lauri Holmström, Juha Vähätalo, Tuomas Kenttä et autres

Abstract Background Majority of the SCD victims aged 50 years or younger are male. On average menopause occurs at the age of 51.4 years and it has a substantial role in cardiovascular risk burden among women. The mechanisms and risk markers of …

Prognostic significance of beat-to-beat variability of spatial heterogeneity of repolarisation analysed from 5-minute resting electrocardiogram in coronary artery disease

Juha S. Perkiömäki, Janne T. Rahola, S Mattila, Antti M. Kiviniemi et autres

Abstract Background Data on the prognostic significance of temporal variability of spatial heterogeneity of electrocardiographic repolarisation in coronary artery disease (CAD) are limited. Purpose To evaluate the prognostic value of temporal variability of T-wave morphology analysed from 5-minute resting ECG in CAD. …

Abstract 12857: Electrocardiographic Findings in Women With Ischemic Sudden Cardiac Death and Anatomic Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Ida Hookana, Anette Eskuri, Lauri Holmström, Juha Vähätalo et autres

Background: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major mode of death worldwide. Previous SCD studies have shown that left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a risk factor for SCD, especially in the presence of myocardial scarring or ischemia. Due to the lower incidence, …

Abstract 13856: Echocardiographic Findings in Women With Ischemic Sudden Cardiac Death

Ida Hookana, Anette Eskuri, Lauri Holmström, Juha Vähätalo et autres

Background: Majority of sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) are caused by coronary artery disease (CAD). Many women who experience SCD do not exhibit the traditional risk factors associated with SCD, which poses challenges in terms of SCD prevention and prediction. The data of …

Sudden cardiac death in women: causes of death at premenopausal and postmenopausal age

M A E Eskuri, Lauri Holmström, Juha Vähätalo, Tuomas Kenttä et autres

Abstract Background Among women the incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) is lower than in men but still significant. On average menopause occurs at the age of 51.4 years. During the last decades the proportion of nonischemic SCD seems to have increased …
