Spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity: toward an ideal index of cardiovascular risk in hypertension?
The present study supports the hypothesis that BRS could encompass the impact over time of several risk factors on the cardiovascular system. Thus, it may constitute a valuable parameter in assessing more precisely the risk of cardiovascular events.
In prophylactic ICD recipients with left ventricular dysfunction, AF is associated with increased risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias, particularly when combined with conduction and/or repolarization abnormalities.
