Risk prediction of future cardiac arrest by evaluation of a genetic risk score alone and in combination with traditional risk factors.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of death globally, commonly through sudden cardiac death. Cardiac arrest of cardiac origin (CA) is associated with a poor prognosis and there is a great need for risk assessment and intensified preventive actions. In this study we aim to assess if a genetic risk score for CHD, composed of 50 common CHD susceptibility variants (GRS), predicts CA and to...
