Preventing Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure-HF with Recovered EF (>45%) (Presenter: Jane E. Wilcox, MD)

HF with Recovered EF (>45%) (Presenter: Jane E. Wilcox, MD)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the prevention of sudden cardiac death in heart failure patients with recovered ejection fraction. The speaker reviews the definitions and characteristics of recovered EF and highlights the importance of risk stratification for sudden death in these patients. The video emphasizes the need for guidelines on generator changes for patients with recovered EF, as well as the potential benefits and limitations of genetic testing in these patients. The speaker also discusses the role of imaging characteristics, such as fibrosis detected by cardiac MRI, in risk stratification. Overall, the video highlights the emerging understanding of recovered EF as a distinct phenotype with its own associated risks for sudden cardiac death.
