OC11_03 Repeated Forms of Premature Ventricular Complexes and Their Mean Coupling Interval Are Predictors of Imminent Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia: Usefulness of Short Term RR Interval Time Series Obtained From Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators

A number of approaches used to predict ventricular tachyarrhythmias (tachycardia VT or fibrillation VF) from the analysis of RR intervals consider only sinus (NN) beats, without taking into account premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). The method known as heartprint, which analyzes PVCs characteristics and their relation to NN intervals, has prognostic value for fatal arrhythmias on long recordings of RR intervals ( > 70,000 beats).
