Atrial Fibrillation and Sudden Cardiac Death
Several recent observational studies have shown an association between AF and SCD. In the Cardiovascular Health Study, the unadjusted incidence of SCD was 12 per 1,000 person-years in those with AF versus 3.8 per 1,000 person years in those without AF. Following adjustment, AF remained associated with an increased hazard of SCD (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.14 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.60 to 2.8...
متن کاملNecropsy study of association between sudden death and cardiac enzymes.
AIMS To determine if cardiac enzymes measured at necropsy could be used to predict early myocardial infarction. METHODS Cardiac enzyme activities were measured in body fluids at necropsy. Coroners' necropsies were grouped by gross and microscopic findings into cases of definite myocardial infarction, cases with occlusive coronary artery atheroma but no identifiable myocardial infarction, and ...
متن کاملPredictors of sudden cardiac death in atrial fibrillation: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study
We previously reported that incident atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the general population. We now aimed to identify predictors of SCD in persons with AF from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, a community-based cohort study. We included all participants who attended visit 1 (1987-89) and had no prior AF (n = 14,...
متن کاملSudden Cardiac Death in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Insights From the ENGAGE AF‐TIMI 48 Trial
BACKGROUND Recent findings suggest that atrial fibrillation is associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD). We examined the incidence, characteristics, and factors associated with SCD in patients with atrial fibrillation. METHODS AND RESULTS SCD was defined as witnessed death ≤60 minutes from the onset of new symptoms or unwitnessed death 1 to 24 hours after being observed alive, without anoth...
متن کاملMutation in Nuclear Pore Component NUP155 Leads to Atrial Fibrillation and Early Sudden Cardiac Death
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of sustained clinical arrhythmia. We previously mapped an AF locus to chromosome 5p13 in an AF family with sudden death in early childhood. Here we show that the specific AF gene underlying this linkage is NUP155, which encodes a member of the nucleoporins, the components of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). We have identified a homozygous mutation...
