Correlation between T-Wave Alternans and Cardiac Volume Status via Intrathoracic Impedance Measurements

Introduction. The presence of T-wave alternans (TWA) has been shown to correlate with a higher risk for sudden cardiac death. The mechanism of TWA may be related to abnormalities in intracellular calcium handling, which is a mechanism in heart failure and associated arrhythmias as well. However, a...
