SERCA2a gene therapy for the prevention of sudden cardiac death: a future theranostic for heart failure?
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a common cause of mortality, with an annual incidence in the United States ranging from 180 000 to 450 000 cases annually.1 Given the frequency and gravity of SCD, there has been considerable effort directed toward decreasing the burden of SCD.2 Most of these efforts have focused on those at highest risk for SCD: (1) patients with heart failure (HF), specifically t...
متن کاملPrevention of Sudden Cardiac Death
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) due ventricular tachyarrhythmias is an important cause of mortality world wide. While the majority of these deaths occur in those with structural heart disease, a small percentage (about 4%) can occur in those with structurally normal heart as well [1]. Such primary electrical disorders of the heart which cause SCD are now called as channelopathies as they involve the...
متن کاملPrevention of sudden cardiac death.
Although the annual incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) is dropping in the United States, therapies for the patient who has survived a SCD episode or is at high risk of developing SCD in the future are now well established. The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) has emerged from a series of well done randomized clinical trials of the 1990s as providing a survival benefit in carefu...
متن کاملPrevention of Sudden Cardiac Death in Cricketers
Aims: Sudden death in cricketers is rare, with the most common causes being cardiac, neurological (head/neck trauma, mainly from ball impact) and environmental (e.g., lightning strike and heat stroke, the former which usually involves cardiac arrest). The aim of this study was to review possible prevention of sudden cardiac death and make recommendations. Materials and methods: A literature rev...
متن کاملShould aldosterone antagonists be considered as primary therapy for prevention of sudden cardiac death? Added Benefit of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Blockade in the Primary Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major public health issue. In patients with heart failure (HF) of various origins, including ischemia post-myocardial infarction (MI), successful development of pharmacological therapies that target neurohormonal abnormalities and modulate disease progression has changed the major cause of death from progressive pump failure to SCD from cardiac arrhythmias. Condi...
