Assessment of Spontaneous Baroreflex Sensitivity in Carriers of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators: Association With Disorders of the Ventricular Heart Rate. Case-control Study (BARODEF)

August 6, 2018 updated by: Poitiers University Hospital

We must implement 8 implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) to save a life in 3 years after myocardial infarction (MI) in primary prevention.

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is proposed as the one tool predicting sudden cardiac death after MI.

Several studies have shown that impairment of spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) after MI was predictor of sudden death.
