Video Summary
Dr. Sumit Choo discusses changes in the epidemiology of sudden death, emphasizing a shift from shockable to non-shockable cardiac arrests. He highlights the importance of identifying patients who may benefit from an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) based on factors beyond ejection fraction. Dr. Choo explains a comprehensive risk score he developed, incorporating 13 variables with a high predictive ability. He also mentions the use of cardiac MRI and machine learning techniques to enhance risk prediction. The conversation underscores the need for improved patient selection for ICDs and the ongoing research in this area, as published in JACC Clinical Electrophysiology in April 2022.
