Arrest rates

Mortality In the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute s Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST), a long-term, multicentered, randomized, double-blind study in patients with asymptomatic nonlife-threatening ventricular arrhythmias who had an Ml more than 6 days but less than 2 years previously, an excessive mortality or nonfatal cardiac arrest rate was seen in patients treated with encainide or flecainide (7.7%) compared with that seen in patients assigned to matched placebo-treated groups (3%). The averaged duration of treatment with encainide or flecainide in this study was 10 months. 

Mortality An excessive mortality or nonfatal cardiac arrest rate was seen in patients treated with encainide or flecainide compared with that seen in patients assigned to carefully matched placebo-treated groups. 

The graph Violent Crime Trends, 1973-2002 provides a measure of trends in violent crime as a whole without regard to weapon (if any) used. In general there is a peak about 1980 and a similar peak about 1993. Since then crime rates have declined substantially, although recorded crimes and arrest rates may be leveling off. 

An excessive mortality or non-fatal cardiac arrest rate was observed in pat ients with non-life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias who had a recent Ml. 

For identification tagging the parameters chosen to represent achievable effectiveness were an increase in current low arrest rate by 1.5-fold and an annual deterrency rate of 5%. vviih. these assumptions, and what now appear to be unrealistically low values of program cost, favorable benefit-cost ratios (appreciably greater than one) were obtained for identification tagging. Thus, identification tagging appeared to be worthwhile from an economic point of view...
