[Value of Non-invasive Electrocardiologic Examination in Prediction of Sudden Cardiac Death].

ABSTRACT

Sudden cardiac death(SCD),a serious public health problem facing China and the world,causes heavy social burden.It is reported that SCD accounts for 15%-20% of all the deaths and the proportion of SCD patients with non-cardiac disease is as high as 50%.Finding effective predictors to identify SCD early is particularly important for clinical practice.To date,non-invasive electrocardiologic examination has been the first choice for predicting the risks of fatal ventricular arrhythmias and SCD because of its safety and feasibility.This review summarizes the available relevant studies to expound the value of non-invasive electrocardiologic examination and indicators in predicting SCD.
