Ventricular late potentials and inducible XXXX as a marker for @entity1165 after @entity583 .

@entity1 @entity1164 @entity1165 @entity1009 @entity1163 @entity1188 @entity1296 @entity583
To assess the predictive value of ventricular late potentials and programmed ventricular stimulation, 379 @entity1 without a history of sustained @entity1165 , @entity1296 or @entity1163 were studied prospectively. Group I included @entity1 referred for coronary angiography. Group II consisted of @entity1 who survived an episode of @entity583 and who were studied within 6 weeks after onset. During follow-up (mean 13 months), 16 @entity1 died. Six of these @entity1 died suddenly within one hour. The prevalence of @entity1164 was lower (0.8%) in group I compared to group II (3.0%). There was no correlation between results of both methods and the subsequent occurrence of @entity1164 . Symptomatic sustained @entity1165 was documented in 10 @entity1 (2.6%). Only one @entity1 in group I later developed symptomatic sustained @entity1165 in contrast to nine cases in group II. Symptomatic sustained @entity1165 could be predicted in @entity1 in the early postmyocardial @entity1188 period (group II). By using various combinations of parameters, the highest predictive value for subsequent sustained @entity1165 was reached by the following combination: Late potentials of 40 ms duration or more, induction of monomorphic sustained @entity1165 at rates below 270 beats @entity1009 and interval after @entity583 less than 6 weeks. In conclusion, both techniques seemed to be promising for the identification of @entity1 at risk of @entity1165 after @entity583 .
