Video Transcription
Video Summary
In this video, Dr. Nancy Moss discusses sudden cardiac death in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF). She presents data showing the prevalence of HFPEF in the elderly population and highlights that HFPEF is not a single disease but a collection of diseases. Dr. Moss explains that the modes of death in HFPEF are more complex compared to heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF), with multiple modes of cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular deaths. The data also suggest that sudden death is less prevalent in HFPEF compared to HFREF. The video discusses predictors of sudden death in HFPEF, including coronary disease markers, male sex, age, diabetes, prior myocardial infarction, and left bundle branch block. Dr. Moss also introduces the use of cardiac imaging and wearable devices to aid in risk stratification and potential prevention of sudden cardiac death in HFPEF patients.
