SENTINEL EVENTS PRIOR TO SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH AMONG CLINICALLY STABLE ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME PATIENTS: INSIGHTS FROM THE IMPROVE-IT TRIAL

While the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with reduced left ventricular function is substantial, little is known about the long-term incidence and sentinel events (SEs) preceding SCD among stable ACS patients. We studied 18,144 clinically stable (key
