Sudden Cardiac Death

I read an article in Health Journal, June 24th, about Vicor's PD2i Cardiac Analyzer. It uses an algorithm that can assess a patient's risk risk to die from Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) by analyzing heart beats. The PD2i has the ability of predicting SCD, with greater than 95% sensitivity and 81% specificity within a six month period. The test can be administered in a cardiologist's office in 20 minutes. This device could save a number of lives.
