Sex Differences in Sudden Cardiac Death
Ischemic heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in most countries and a major health burden, with approximately 50% of deaths due to sudden cardiac death (SCD) [Zipes & Wellens, 1998; Wong et al. 2001; Mazeika 2001]. The increasing prevalence of diabetes will also impact on SCD incidence. Patients with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes have significantly higher mortality and mo...
متن کاملInterventional cardiac catheterization.
Over the past decade, transcatheter interventions have become increasingly important in the treatment of patients with congenital heart lesions. These procedures may be broadly grouped as dilations (e.g., septostomy, valvuloplasty, angioplasty, and endovascular stenting) or as closures (e.g., vascular embolization and device closure of defects). Balloon valvuloplasty has become the treatment of...
متن کاملComplications of Cardiac Catheterization
Because all cardiac catheterizations involve the insertion of foreign objects (i.e., cardiac catheters) into the circulatory system, it should not be surprising that a variety of adverse events (complications) can ensue. These complications range from minor problems with no long-term sequelae (e.g., transient bradycardia during coronary contrast injection) to major problems [e.g., cardiac perfo...

متن کاملFatality following cardiac catheterization injury.
The widespread use of cardiac catheterization has revealed certain dangers inherent in the procedure when the catheter is advanced beyond the tricuspid valve. Ventricular and other ectopic rhythms are a well recognized risk, but less is known about the effect of damage to the endocardium produced by the catheter in man (Zimdahl, 1951). This paper presents in detail a case that terminated fatall...
