- Abstract
Beyond LV-ejection fraction (EF) description, the coronary artery bypass graft surgery cohort was poorly defined in this study. Tackling postoperative sudden cardiac death in high-risk cardiac surgical patients - role of wearable cardioverter defibrillators Keywords: Wearable cardioverter defibrillator; Sudden cardiac death; Cardiac surgery; Myocardial recovery EN Wearable cardioverter defibrillator Sudden cardiac death Cardiac surgery Myocardial recovery 1041 1042 2 05/05/22 20220501 NES 220501 A specific analysis of patients from the STICH trial (Surgical Treatment of Ischaemic Heart Failure) revealed that the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in coronary artery bypass graft surgery patients with severely impaired left ventricular (LV) function is highest between the first and third month postoperatively [[1]].
