Breakthrough in prediction of sudden cardiac death

A new computational method developed by physicists at Tampere University can be used to estimate the risk of sudden cardiac death from a one-minute heart rate measurement at rest. The study was carried out in interdisciplinary collaboration between cardiology and computational physics. The findings were published in the prestigious JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology journal on 12 June 2024.
