A Non-invasive Method for Premature Sudden Cardiac Death Detection: A Proposal Framework

Abstract:

Sudden Cardiac Death is considered one of the main cause of mortality worldwide. The incomprehensible nature of this cardiac disease increases the necessity to develop new methods to pbkp_redict this pathology. According to the literature review, several methods to pbkp_redict SCD have been developed using Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and T-wave alternans (TWA). HRV has been extensively studied and it is considered as index in the cardiovascular risk stratification. On the other hand, T-wave alternans has been considered an important, non-invasive, very promising indicator to stratify the risk of sudden cardiac death. In this context, based on HRV and TWA as a risk stratification indices, this article proposes a research framework to stratify and pbkp_redict the Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) disease using non-invasive methods, by mixing elements of the HRV and TWA approaches, thus producing an hybrid approach.
