Sudden cardiac death owing to arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is increasingly recognized in forensic practice with controversial diagnosis. Here we described the epidemiological characteristics and reported the pathogenetic mechanism, diagnostic challenges, and forensic implications of Chinese ARVC autopsy cases. METHODS Two cases of sudden cardiac death owing to ARVC were r...
متن کاملSudden cardiac death: role of left ventricular dysfunction.
Early studies from the Coronary Drug Project of sudden cardiac death in patients surviving an episode of myocardial infarction called attention to the importance of ventricular ectopic beats.' In that study, complex ventricular ectopic beats recorded on a 12-hour Holter electrocardiogram were found to be associated with an excessive risk of sudden cardiac death. When the relationship was examin...
متن کاملNecropsy study of association between sudden death and cardiac enzymes.
AIMS To determine if cardiac enzymes measured at necropsy could be used to predict early myocardial infarction. METHODS Cardiac enzyme activities were measured in body fluids at necropsy. Coroners' necropsies were grouped by gross and microscopic findings into cases of definite myocardial infarction, cases with occlusive coronary artery atheroma but no identifiable myocardial infarction, and ...
متن کاملSudden Cardiac Death Predicting the Future Risk Stratification for Sudden Cardiac Death in Patients With Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Risk stratification for any disease is, in many ways, medicine’s attempt to predict the future. The challenges in risk stratification for sudden death, however, may be unparalleled in medicine. Although the many types of sudden death all present with similar phenotypes, risk stratification efforts generally center on the prediction of death resulting from either ischemic or arrhythmic events. T...
متن کاملCardiac myotonic dystrophy mimicking arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in a young sudden cardiac death victim.
An 11-year-old girl sitting in the kitchen suddenly complained of dizziness. Seconds later, she collapsed and had cardiac arrest. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated immediately but was unsuccessful, despite prolonged efforts. The girl was previously healthy and had never experienced any cardiac or muscular symptoms. At autopsy, the gross examination was normal. The heart weighed 230 g;...
