OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to identify a rapid, sensitive, and non-destructive auxiliary approach for postmortem diagnosis of SCD, addressing the challenges faced in forensic practice.
Short QT syndrome (SQTS) is an inherited cardiac ion-channel disease related to an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young and otherwise healthy individuals. SCD is often the first clinical presentation in patients with SQTS. However, a...

INTRODUCTION: S-ICD eligibility is assessed at pre-implant screening where surface ECG traces are used as surrogates for S-ICD vectors. In heart failure (HF) patients undergoing diuresis, electrolytes and fluid shifts can cause changes in R and T wav...

BACKGROUND: Brugada syndrome is a potential cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) and is characterized by a distinct ECG, but not all patients with A Brugada ECG develop SCD. In this study we sought to examine if an artificial intelligence (AI) model c...
The spatial QRS-T angle is a promising health indicator for risk stratification of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Thus far, the angle is estimated solely from 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) systems uncomfortable for ambulatory monitoring. Methods to es...

BACKGROUND: A major predictor of eligibility of subcutaneous implantable cardiac defibrillators (S-ICD) is the T:R ratio. The eligibility cut-off of the T:R ratio incorporates a safety margin to accommodate for fluctuations of ECG signal amplitudes. ...
