Management of the patient who has been resuscitated from sudden cardiac death.
CD is a 68-year-old man who had an anterior myocardial infarction 6 months ago. Evaluation at that time demonstrated an occluded left anterior descending artery, which was successfully stented with no other significant lesions. Left ventricular ejection fraction was 35%. He had no recurrent angina or heart failure symptoms. Early one morning he lost consciousness. Paramedics verified ventricula...

متن کاملResuscitated sudden cardiac death due to diminutive coronary artery syndrome
Diminutive coronary artery syndrome (DCAS) refers to myocardial ischemia occurring as a consequence of coronary artery hypoplasia. DCAS was first described in 1964 in a report of 2 previously healthy men, aged 18 and 25, who suffered acute myocardial infarctions (MI) and were found on rudimentary coronary angiography to have hypoplastic right coronary arteries. Subsequent case reports have desc...
متن کاملCare of patient resuscitated from cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a major cause of death with survival rates as low as 5% to 35%. A large number of patients who survive resuscitation will face significant neurological damage, as a result of the ischemia that occurs both during cardiac arrest and reperfusion. However understanding of the mechanisms responsible for brain damage has not resulted in prog...
متن کاملCardiac genetic investigation of young sudden unexplained death and resuscitated out of hospital cardiac arrest.
Nearly 30% of young sudden deaths have negative autopsies and these sudden unexplained deaths (SUDs) are presumed to be due to heritable cardiac arrhythmias attributed to cardiac ion channel disorders. Comprehensive cardiac and genetic testing of families of SUD is helpful in the detection of inherited cardiac genetic conditions. It frequently provides a clue to the cause of death in SUD victim...
