Sudden cardiac death [PDF]

Forensic Sciences Research, 2019
Cardiovascular disease represents the main cause of death in developed countries. Cardiovascular disease frequently may account for premature fatal outcomes, even in the apparently healthy young, a...

How Sudden Is Sudden Cardiac Death? [PDF]

Circulation, 2006
Background— Out-of-hospital sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a frequent cause of death. Survival rates remain low despite increasing efforts in medical care. Better understanding of the circumstances of SCD could be helpful in developing preventive measures and ...

Guidelines for autopsy investigation of sudden cardiac death: 2017 update from the Association for European Cardiovascular Pathology

Virchows Archiv, 2017
Although sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the most important modes of death in Western countries, pathologists and public health physicians have not given this problem the attention it deserves. New methods of preventing potentially fatal arrhythmias

Systematic Review of the Genetics of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy: Potential Overlap With Sudden Cardiac Death and Arrhythmia‐Related Genes

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of epilepsy‐related death. SUDEP shares many features with sudden cardiac death and sudden unexplained death in the young and may have a similar genetic contribution.

European recommendations integrating genetic testing into multidisciplinary management of sudden cardiac death

European Journal of Human Genetics, 2019
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) accounts for 10–20% of total mortality, i.e., one in five individuals will eventually die suddenly. Given the substantial genetic component of SCD in younger cases, postmortem genetic testing may be particularly useful in ...

Genetics of Sudden Cardiac Death [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2015
Sudden cardiac death occurs in a broad spectrum of cardiac pathologies and is an important cause of mortality in the general population. Genetic studies conducted during the past 20 years have markedly illuminated the genetic basis of the inherited cardiac disorders associated with sudden cardiac death.

Myocardial lipofuscin accumulation in ageing and sudden cardiac death

Scientific Reports, 2019
Lipofuscin is an intracellular aggregate of highly oxidized proteins that cannot be digested in the ubiquitin-proteasome system and accumulate mainly in lysosomes, especially in aged cells and pathological conditions.

Cardiac Innervation and Sudden Cardiac Death [PDF]

Current Cardiology Reviews, 2009
The heart is extensively innervated and its performance is tightly controlled by the nervous system. Cardiac innervation density varies in diseased hearts leading to unbalanced neural activation and lethal arrhythmia. Diabetic sensory neuropathy causes silent myocardial ischemia, characterized by loss of pain perception during myocardial ischemia ...

Incidence and Etiology of Sudden Cardiac Death: New Updates for Athletic Departments

Sports health, 2017
Context: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in a young athlete is a tragic event and is the leading medical cause of death in this population. The precise incidence of SCD in young athletes has been subject of debate, with studies reporting drastically different

Cardiac Innervation and Sudden Cardiac Death [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2015
Afferent and efferent cardiac neurotransmission via the cardiac nerves intricately modulates nearly all physiological functions of the heart (chronotropy, dromotropy, lusitropy, and inotropy). Afferent information from the heart is transmitted to higher levels of the nervous system for processing (intrinsic cardiac nervous system, extracardiac ...
