* Interestingly, most patients who suffer from sudden cardiac death (64%) are the patients who are minimally symptomatic with Class II heart failure. The sickest, most symptomatic patient (Class IV) experience heart failure deaths (56%) from pump failure, rather than sudden cardiac death (33%). It is important to remember that although it can be said that a heart failure patient in NYHA Class II may have a higher risk of SCD, their relative annual risk of dying is less than the other NYHA classes. The SCD-HeFT Trial (Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure Trial) which enrolled NYHA Class II and III patients, hopes to answer whether patients in these classes are truly at a higher risk for SCD and need protection. * Main purpose: Establish the problem of ventricular dysynchrony. Key messages: Ventricular dysynchrony as manifested by a wide QRS is more common in patients with moderate to severe impaired ventricular systolic function (LVSF); A wide QRS is associated with a poor prognosis, and impaired cardiac function. Additional information: Masoudi and colleagues used retrospective medical chart data of 19,710 pts Medicare beneficiaries hospitalized w/ HF and for whom LV systolic function was confirmed. LBBB present in 8% of those with preserved LV systolic function (diastolic HF) and in 24% of those with EF 50% (p0.001). Aaronson developed and validated a multivariable survival model for ambulatory advanced heart failure patients wait listed for a heart transplant. IVCD (QRS 120 ms) present in 27% of the 268 pts in derivation sample, and in 53% of the 199 pts in validation sample. IVCD identified as contributing risk factor. Other studies have shown that fro the entire HF population about 15% have a wide QRS. Iuliano: 669 HF pts (ischemic or nonischemic cardiomyopathy, NYHA II-IV heart failure. Median followup of 45 mo. Prolonged QRS was associated w/ increase in mortality (49.3% vs 34.0%) and sudden death (24.8% vs 17.4%). LBBB was associated w/ worse su
