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 کاملRIGHT VENTRICULAR FATTY INFILTRATION IN MITRAL STENOSIS, A RARE CAUSE OF SURGICAL FAILURE.
A 47 year-old female died after mitral valve replacement. Post-cardiopulmonary bypass right ventricle was not able to pump despite good left ventricular contractility. At microscopic examination, diffuse right ventricular fatty infiltration was found. We found no previous report of this pathology in patients with mitral stenosis
متن کاملTrans-fatty acids and sudden cardiac death.
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is usually due to ventricular fibrillation and can occur as a first manifestation of heart disease. Prevention of ventricular fibrillation and SCD with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is well documented. Trans-fatty acids (TFA) in the diet and cell membranes might affect the risk of SCD as well. We review evidence from an observational study that high levels of trans-...
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;...
متن کاملCardiac arrest and sudden death in competitive athletes with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a predisposing factor for sport-related cardiac arrest (CA), sudden cardiac death (SD), and life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT). The aim of this study was the assessment of athletes with ARVD, particularly the CA survivors. From 1974 to January 1996, 1642 competitive athletes (aver. 25.5 yr.), 136 of whom were top level athlete...
