A person-centered paradigm to prevent sudden cardiac death guided by data from implantable cardiac monitors. In the lower panel, the graph depicts the cumulative survival of patients on dialysis. Potential arrhythmias contributing to the mortality are presented. The mechanism of sudden death early after dialysis initiation is unknown and could be due to ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) or bradyarrhythmias. Electrolyte abnormalities likely contribute to sudden death at any point of time after dialysis initiation. Studies outlined in the text highlight the risk of bradyarrhythmias as a mechanism for sudden death in patients on dialysis for longer period of time. Potential interventions to reduce risk of sudden death are presented in the upper left and upper right panels. RKF, residual kidney function.
