BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This case report describes a rare and potentially fatal condition associated with anesthesia administration. Our aim was to discuss the causes of sudden cardiac arrest during the perioperative period in apparently healthy patients and the pathophysiology of anomalous origin of the coronary arteries as a cause of sudden cardiac arrest. CASE REPORT Female patient, 44 y...

Cardiac arrest, a deadly condition caused by a sudden failure of the heart, is synonymous with clinical death (in-hospital mortality rate of ∼ 80%). Early and accurate estimation of patients at high risk of cardiac arrest is crucial for improving the survival rate. Existing research generally fails to utilize a patient’s temporal dynamics and/or leverage ordinal measurements. This paper present...

Sudden cardiac arrest in an apparently healthy patient is uncommon and distressing experience for clinicians, a prompt response improves outcome. A previously undiagnosed underlying anomaly places patients at risk of intraoperative critical incidents that could be fatal. We herein report rare case anomalous coronary arteries asymptomatic 25-year- old male who was rescheduled non-cardiac surgery...

Background Sudden cardiac arrest has a significant global health burden with an estimated incidence of 95.9 per 100 000 person-years. The causal malignant ventricular arrhythmia may arise secondary to myocardial ischaemia, infarct, oedema, fibrosis or infiltration and survivors are at significant risk for recurrent events. Coronary revascularization procedures have a significant associated morb...
