Sudden Death Rates Drop in Trial Participants with Heart Failure: By Amy Orciari Herman

Rates of sudden death in patients with heart failure declined significantly over the past two decades, finds a study in the New England Journal of Medicine.
"Researchers examined data on some 40,000 adults with symptomatic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction who participated in any of 12 randomized trials between 1995 and 2014. Patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators were excluded."
The authors suggest their findings may show that there have been improvements over this time from the implementation of evidence-based treatments.
