METHODS: For 672 enrolled patients, we collected history, LVEF, EP study and T-wave alternans testing, 24-h Holter, NT-proBNP, and the eGFR. All-cause mortality and first appropriate ICD shock were predefined endpoints. RESULTS: The 635 patients included in the final analyses were 63 ± 13 years old, 81% were male, LVEF averaged 40 ± 14%, 20% were inducible at EP study, 63% had a primary prophylactic ICD. During follow-up over 4.3 ± 1.5 years, 108 patients died (4.0% per year), and appropriate shock therapy occurred in n = 96 (3.9% per year). In multivariate regression, age (p < 0.001), LVEF (p < 0.001), NYHA functional class (p = 0.007), eGFR (p = 0.024), a history of atrial fibrillation (p = 0.011), and NT-pro-BNP (p = 0.002) were predictors of mortality. LVEF (p = 0.002), inducibility at EP study (p = 0.007), and secondary prophylaxis (p = 0.002) were identified as independent predictors of appropriate shocks. A high annualized risk of shocks of about 10% per year was prevalent in the upper quintile of the shock score. In contrast, a low annual risk of shocks (1.8% per year) was found in the lower two quintiles of the shock score. The lower two quintiles of the mortality score featured an annual mortality <0.6%. CONCLUSIONS: In a prospective ICD patient cohort, a very good approximation of mortality versus arrhythmic risk was possible using a multivariable diagnostic strategy. EP stimulation is the best test to assess risk of arrhythmias resulting in ICD shocks."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.ijcard.2018.06.103"],["dc.identifier.pmid","29983251"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15929"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59764"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.intern","In goescholar not merged with http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15360 but duplicate"],["dc.relation","info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/241526/EU//EUTRIGTREAT"],["dc.relation.issn","1874-1754"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC-ND 4.0"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.subject.mesh","Aged"],["dc.subject.mesh","Aged, 80 and over"],["dc.subject.mesh","Arrhythmias, Cardiac"],["dc.subject.mesh","Cohort Studies"],["dc.subject.mesh","Death, Sudden, Cardiac"],["dc.subject.mesh","Defibrillators"],["dc.subject.mesh","Defibrillators, Implantable"],["dc.subject.mesh","Female"],["dc.subject.mesh","Follow-Up Studies"],["dc.subject.mesh","Humans"],["dc.subject.mesh","Male"],["dc.subject.mesh","Middle Aged"],["dc.subject.mesh","Mortality"],["dc.subject.mesh","Multivariate Analysis"],["dc.subject.mesh","Natriuretic Peptide, Brain"],["dc.subject.mesh","Peptide Fragments"],["dc.subject.mesh","Prospective Studies"],["dc.subject.mesh","Risk Factors"],["dc.title","Differential multivariable risk prediction of appropriate shock versus competing mortality - A prospective cohort study to estimate benefits from ICD therapy"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We aimed at investigating (a) whether STV-QT exhibits circadian pattern, and (b) whether such pattern differs between patients with high and low arrhythmia risk. METHODS: As part of the ongoing EU-CERT-ICD study, 24h high resolution digital ambulatory 12-lead Holter recordings are collected prior to ICD implantation for primary prophylactic indication. Presently available patients were categorized based on their arrhythmia score (AS), a custom-made weighted score of the number of arrhythmic events on the recording. STV-QT was calculated every hour in 30 patients of which 15 and 15 patients had a high and a low AS, respectively. RESULTS: The overall dynamicity of STV-QT showed high intra- and inter-individual variability with different circadian patterns associated with low and high AS. High AS patients showed a prominent peak both at 08:00 and 18:00. At these times, STV-QT was significantly higher in the high AS patients compared to the low AS patients (1.22ms±0.55ms vs 0.60ms±0.24ms at 08:00 and 1.12ms±0.39ms vs 0.64ms±0.29ms at 18:00, both p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: In patients with high AS, STV-QT peaks in the early morning and late afternoon. This potentially reflects increased arrhythmia risk at these times. Prospective STV-QT determination at these times might thus be more sensitive to identify patients at high risk of ventricular arrhythmias."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1371/journal.pone.0183199"],["dc.identifier.pmid","28827816"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/14917"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59106"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation","info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/602299/EU//EU-CERT-ICD"],["dc.relation.issn","1932-6203"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.subject.mesh","Aged"],["dc.subject.mesh","Arrhythmias, Cardiac"],["dc.subject.mesh","Circadian Rhythm"],["dc.subject.mesh","Electroencephalography"],["dc.subject.mesh","Female"],["dc.subject.mesh","Humans"],["dc.subject.mesh","Male"],["dc.subject.mesh","Middle Aged"],["dc.subject.mesh","Pilot Projects"],["dc.subject.mesh","Primary Prevention"],["dc.title","Circadian pattern of short-term variability of the QT-interval in primary prevention ICD patients - EU-CERT-ICD methodological pilot study."],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
