چکیده
Background Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) results from malignant ventricular arrhythmias that may be due to myocardial ischemia, infarct, edema, fibrosis or infiltration. The underlying cause is often unknown. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) may provide structural and functional data and identify myocardial ischemia, inflammation and fibrofatty infiltration. This study determines the diagnostic ability of CMR in SCA of unknown cause.

Brugada Syndrome is a rare cause of sudden cardiac arrest and has a unique ECG pattern. In fact, with ST-segment elevation down sloping in the right precordial leads (v1-v3), RBBB pattern in lateral leads and J-point elevation is revealed. We must notice and avoid trigger factors of this syndrome during general anesthesia. Patient is a 39 old man who attended to emergency department with sudden...

In the young patient resuscitated from sudden cardiac arrest, the risks of recurrence are uncertain and so are the criteria defining therapeutic efficacy for the presumed cause of the initial event. In this study, we analyzed the outcome of 15 consecutive young patients, who were resuscitated from pulseless ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation and who were evaluated by comprehens...

PURPOSE Sudden cardiac arrest is a common emergency condition found in the emergency department of the hospital. The survival rate of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients is 2.0%-10.0% and 7.4%-27.0% percent for in-hospital cardiac arrest patients. The factors for survival outcome are divided into three main groups: patient characteristics, pre-hospital factors, and resuscitated information....
