Hi,
Ischemic cardiomyopathy may cause refractory heart failure. Such cases can have acute on chronic heart failure leading to acute breathlessness and fatality. Ventricular tachyarrhythmias can also occur in ischemic cardiomyopathy leading to sudden death.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
