Identifying Ventricular Arrhythmias and Their Predictors by Applying Machine Learning Methods to Electronic Health Records in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy(HCM-VAr-Risk Model) [PDF]
Clinical risk stratification for sudden cardiac death (SCD) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) employs rules derived from American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association (ACCF/AHA) guidelines or the HCM Risk-SCD model (C-index of 0.69), which utilize a few clinical variables.

CARDIOMYOPATHY: The cardiomyopathies: an overview [PDF]
The recent revision (table 1) of the definition of a cardiomyopathy by the World Health Organization1 recognises that ventricular dysfunction can result from a failure to correct volume or pressure overload in valve disease or to control hypertension. Loss of myocardium caused by coronary artery disease also leads to severe ventricular dysfunction. All
