背景:在心力衰竭患者中,临床明显卒中发生率范围在1.3%~3.5%/年。目前对不伴有房颤情况下卒中发生率和危险因素的了解很少。在SCD-HeFT(心力衰竭患者心脏性猝死试验)中。
BACKGROUND -In patients with heart failure,rates of clinically apparent stroke range from 1.3% to 3.5% per year. Little is known about the incidence and risk factors in the absence of atrial fibrillation. In the Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure Trial(SCD-HeFT),2521 patients with moderate heart failure were randomized to receive amiodarone,implanted cardioverter-defibrillators(ICDs),or placebo. METHODS AND RESULTS -We determined the incidence of stroke or peripheral or pulmonary embolism in patients wit...
