Histopathology of the conduction system in the sudden infant death syndrome.
The cause of the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS, crib death, or cot death) is unknown. Current hypotheses include lability of heart rate and/or rhythm as a pathogenetic factor. The conduction system of 50 infants coming to autopsy were examined by serial sections; the infants were from newborn to two years of age. Twenty-six were SIDS deaths and 24 were explained deaths (ED). The frequency ...
متن کاملHistopathology of the conduction system in sudden death from coronary heart disease.
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) has been attributed to the development of lethal dysrhythmias in coronary heart disease victims, and several recent autopsy surveys showed that 10 to 50% of SCD patients had unsuspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The present study concerned histopathological findings of the conduction system in 49 SCD (within six hours of the onset of acute symptoms) patients;...

متن کاملCAP2 in cardiac conduction, sudden cardiac death and eye development
Sudden cardiac death kills 180,000 to 450,000 Americans annually, predominantly males. A locus that confers a risk for sudden cardiac death, cardiac conduction disease, and a newly described developmental disorder (6p22 syndrome) is located at 6p22. One gene at 6p22 is CAP2, which encodes a cytoskeletal protein that regulates actin dynamics. To determine the role of CAP2 in vivo, we generated k...
متن کاملSudden death in a patient with amyloidosis of the cardiac conduction system.
A 54 year old man had generalised systemic amyloidosis secondary to bilateral basal bronchiectasis of the lungs. He died after an unexpected asystolic cardiac arrest. Necropsy showed extensive amyloid deposition in the cardiac conduction system.
