New scans aim to predict Who's most likely to die suddenly from heart problems
NCT ID NCT00181233
Summary
This study is testing whether advanced MRI and CT scans can help doctors better predict which patients with weakened hearts are at the highest risk for sudden cardiac death. It involves 400 people who already have a plan to get a special heart device (an ICD) to prevent sudden death. The goal is to see if these imaging tests can identify who needs the device's protection the most.
