No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Sudden cardiac death is in most cases triggered by ischemia-related ventricular tachyarrhythmias and accounts for 50% of deaths from cardiovascular disease in developed countries. Chronic elevation of indicators of coagulation activation has been found in patients with coronary heart disease , but a role of coagulation activation and proinflammatory state as a potential risk factor for ventricular fibrillation (VF) during acute myocardial infarction has not been investigated.
