Sudden cardiac death (SCD) refers to death after an unexpected sudden cardiac arrest in a patient with or without known structural heart disease. The incidence of SCD in the United States ranges from 300 000 to 460 000 events per year, depending on the criteria for SCD used for surveillance. SCD results from a complex interaction between preexisting cardiac substrates, either structural or gene...
متن کاملApical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in a Case with Chest Pain and Family History of Sudden Cardiac Death: A Case Report
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiovascular disease, which is caused by a multitude of mutations in genes encoding proteins of the cardiac sarcomere (1). Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is an uncommon type of HCM. The sudden cardiac death is less likely to occur in the patients inflicted with AHCM (2). Herein, we presented the case of a 29-year-old man ...
متن کاملMaternal placental abnormality and the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.
To determine whether placental abnormality (placental abruption or placental previa) during pregnancy predisposes an infant to a high risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), the authors conducted a population-based case-control study using 1989-1991 California linked birth and death certificate data. They identified 2,107 SIDS cases, 96% of whom were diagnosed through autopsy. Ten controls...
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...
متن کاملHistomorphological Spectrum of Various Cardiac Changes in Sudden Death: An Autopsy Study
Background and Objectives: In spite of large number of studies conducted so far, sudden cardiac death remains an enigma and relative importance of acute coronary events as a trigger of sudden death is currently unclear. An autopsy study of heart was therefore planned to observe various histomorphological cardiac changes, and to determine the frequency association of acute coronary events and my...
