We tested the hypothesis that patients whose ventricular arrhythmias are easy to suppress have a lower rate of arrhythmic death, defined as arrhythmic death and nonfatal cardiac arrest, the primary end point in the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trials (CAST-I and

Encainide treatment in patients after myocardial infarction is associated with increased risk of sudden cardiac death. This may relate to drug-induced changes in the electrophysiologic milieu, thus predisposing the patient to sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias. The goals of this study were

Care of patients with ventricular arrhythmia after myocardial infarction requires careful nursing management, including assisting with arrhythmia monitoring and testing. Because ventricular premature depolarization is a known risk factor for sudden cardiac death, it was hypothesized that the suppression of
