Irregular daily patterns of fast heart rhythms may predict death risk in high-risk sudden heart failure patients
Updated
Abstract
Ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTAs) show circadian variation in occurrence.
- VTAs may exhibit different patterns of onset depending on the time of day.
- Individual circadian patterns of VTA onset in patients with high-risk sudden cardiac death (SCD) are not well understood.
- Home monitoring could provide insights into the timing of VTA episodes for these patients.
- Understanding these patterns may have implications for patient management and risk assessment.
