P2875Comparison between ejection fraction, global longitudinal strain, mechanical dispersion and delta contraction duration in predicting first and subsequent arrhythmic events in ICD patients

Background According to current guidelines, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is currently the most important parameter for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in patients with structural heart disease. Unfortunately, LVEF has low sensitivity in detecting arrhythmic events and presents a significant intra- and inter-operator variability. For these reasons, alternative predictors in patients with structural heart disease are being...
