PO-02-086 PREDICTORS OF SHOCKABLE VERSUS NON-SHOCKABLE SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

HeartRhythm

We have recently reported that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with higher likelihood of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) presenting with non-shockable rhythms (NSR) (pulseless electrical activity/asystole), as opposed to shockable rhythms (ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia).

Top 10 Cardiac Diagnosis Trends in 2024

GEMMS

Gene-Based Analysis Predictive analytics is vital in reducing morbidity and mortality, with healthcare startups focusing on early risk prediction and disease detection. Much of heart disease is linked to conditions like diabetes, obesity, or chronic kidney disease, and specific mutations in nucleic acids help identify them.

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate and Implantable Cardioverter?Defibrillator in Nonischemic Systolic Heart Failure: Extended Follow?Up of DANISH

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundPatients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease (CKD) may have an increased risk of death from causes competing with arrhythmic death, which could have implications for the efficacy of implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICDs).
