Prognostic value of T-wave alternans in survivors of ventricular fibrillation or hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia

Prognostic value of T-wave alternans in survivors of ventricular fibrillation or hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia

Background: T-wave alternans is useful for predicting the occurrence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in various heart diseases. However, little is known about the clinical significance of T-wave alternans measurement in survivors of ventricular fibrillation (VF) or hemodynam...
