Arrhythmic Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Mechanisms, Genetics, and Future Directions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is an increasingly recognized disorder. Many clinical trials have failed to demonstrate benefit in patients with HFpEF but have recognized alarming rates of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Genetic testing has become standard in the workup of patients with otherwise unexplained cardiac arrest, but the genetic architecture of HFpEF, and the overlap of a genetic predisposition to HFpEF and arrhythmias, is poorly understood. An understanding of the genetics of HFpEF and related SCD has the potential to redefine and generate novel diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic tools. In this review, we examine recent pathophysiological and clinical advancements in our understanding of HFpEF, which reinforce the heterogeneity of the condition. We also discuss data describing SCD events in patients with HFpEF and review the current literature on genetic underpinnings of HFpEF. Mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis which may lead to SCD in this population are also explored. Lastly, we outline several areas of promise for experimentation and clinical trials that have the potential to further advance our understanding of and contribute to improved clinical care of this patient population.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
