Video Summary
In this video segment, Dr. Jeremy Ruskin discusses his work on sudden cardiac death and the changes in the approach to treating cardiac arrest patients. In the past, the focus was on treating ischemia, assuming it was the main cause, but Dr. Ruskin's research showed that many patients had substrate abnormalities and inducible VTs. He also found that LV dysfunction was a predictor of recurrence. The use of drugs for suppression during serial tests did not have long-term success. Now, in the era of ICDs, there is a debate on the appropriate use of primary prevention. Dr. Ruskin believes that there is still work to be done in risk stratification and finding better tools.
