Sudden cardiac arrest during sports.

Exercise can trigger an acute cardiac event which may precipitate sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). On the other hand, exercise is important for physical fitness and prevention of cardiovascular disease, and the medical community should therefore inform the general public of the health benefits of sports and exercise. At the same time, the public are exposed to alarmist mass media coverage of athlet...

Heritability of Risk for Sudden Cardiac Arrest in ESRD.

Patients on dialysis are 20 times more likely to have a cardiac arrest compared with the general population. We considered whether inherited factors associate with cardiac arrest among patients on dialysis. From a sample of 647,457 patients on chronic dialysis, we identified 5117 pairs of patients who came from the same family. These patients were each matched to a control subject from the same...

Founder Mutation Genotyping and Sudden Cardiac Arrest

After the Human Genome Project, a resulting explosion of genetic information has led to the identification of thousands of new disease-susceptibility genes. This has created the dream of genetic medicine, or so-called precision medicine, where the identification of pathogenic mutations would lead to the early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. This ideal has no more important impl...
