Predictive Value of the Electrical Risk Score for Ventricular Arrhythmias in Heart Failure Patients with Primary Prevention Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators
Background: Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are essential for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in heart failure (HF); however, appropriate shocks increase mortality and impair quality of life. The electrical risk score (ERS) is an electrocardiographic (ECG)-based composite index with proven...
