Characteristic Histopathological Findings and Cardiac Arrest Rhythm in Isolated Mitral Valve Prolapse and Sudden Cardiac Death

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background The association between mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and sudden death remains controversial. We aimed to describe histopathological changes in individuals with autopsy‐determined isolated MVP (iMVP) and sudden death and document cardiac arrest ...

The tornadoes of sudden cardiac arrest [PDF]

Nature, 2018
A clever combination of techniques has enabled, for the first time, simultaneous visualization of the 3D waves of electrical and mechanical activity that are responsible for many cases of sudden cardiac death.

Chagas Disease-induced Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine, 2017
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the most common cause of death in patients with Chagas disease (ChD). There are over 300,000 ChD-infected individuals living in the United States, of whom 10–15% have undiagnosed Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCM).

Improved Cardiac Arrhythmia Prediction Based on Heart Rate Variability Analysis [PDF]

, 2022
Many types of ventricular and atrial cardiac arrhythmias have been discovered in clinical practice in the past 100 years, and these arrhythmias are a major contributor to sudden cardiac death. Ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation are the most commonly-occurring and dangerous arrhythmias, therefore early ...

Technical Report: Comparative Evaluation of AR-based, VR-based, and Traditional Basic Life Support Training [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Basic life support (BLS) is crucial in the emergency response system as sudden cardiac arrest is still a major cause of death worldwide. In the majority of cases, cardiac arrest is witnessed out-of-hospital where execution of BLS including resuscitation through by-standers gets indispensable.

Sudden cardiac arrest and coexisting mitral valve prolapse: a case report and literature review

Echo Research and Practice, 2016
The aetiology of sudden cardiac arrest can often be identified to underlying cardiac pathology. Mitral valve prolapse is a relatively common valvular pathology with symptoms manifesting with increasing severity of mitral regurgitation (MR). It is unusual

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality parameters from motion capture data using Differential Evolution fitting of sinusoids [PDF]

Applied Soft Computing, Volume 79, June 2019, Pages 300-309, 2018
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is alongside electrical defibrillation the most crucial countermeasure for sudden cardiac arrest, which affects thousands of individuals every year. In this paper, we present a novel approach including sinusoid models that use skeletal motion data from an RGB-D (Kinect) sensor and the Differential Evolution (DE ...

Successful Treatment of a Patient with Cardiac Arrest Due to Hyperkalemia by Prolonged Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation along with Hemodialysis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Medicina, 2021
Severe hyperkalemia is a potentially life threatening cardiac emergency, especially in patients with renal failure, and can lead to fatal arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation or asystole, leading to cardiac arrest.
