Abstract
Aim. The study addresses the role of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in development of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). The incidence of characteristic features of arrhythmogenic substrate in myocardium (late ventricular potentials, left ventricular ejection fraction) and trigger factors of fatal arrhythmias (decreased heart rate variability, ventricular arrhythmias) was higher in patients with MI and LVH. The level of leukocytes, monocytes and eosinophils, CD-95 lymphocytes was significantly higher in patients with LVH. The incidence of general mortality and of SCD was also higher in group with LVH.
