Noradrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the normal human heart and changes associated with cardiomyopathy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Review on Non-Invasive Risk Stratification of Sudden Cardiac Death

Proceedings of Singapore Healthcare, 2011
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the most significant and challenging problems facing modern medicine today given its unpredictable nature. The evaluation of the patient at risk for sudden cardiac death still remains a complex task.

Evaluation of cardiac hypertrophy in the setting of sudden cardiac death

Forensic Sciences Research, 2019
Ventricular hypertrophy is a common pathological finding at autopsy that can act as a substrate for arrhythmogenesis. Pathologists grapple with the significance of ventricular hypertrophy when assessing the sudden and unexpected deaths of young people ...

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 ...

Medications, epilepsy and climate change: Added layers of complexity

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Climate change—the global crisis with pervasive health impacts—has adverse consequences for people with epilepsy (PWE) who have low quality of life due to poor seizure control, socioeconomic disadvantages and comorbidities. This review focuses on the potential effects of climate change on the pharmacological characteristics of antiseizure medications ...

Commotio cordis – a review of a rare cause of sudden death in young athletes

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2023
Commotio cordis, from Latin “agitation of the heart” is a potentially fatal sudden disruption and alteration of heart electric activity. It is usually caused by relatively mild blunt non-penetrating trauma to the specific point on anterior part of the ...

Sudden Cardiac Death in Hypertensive Patients

HYPERTENSION, 2019
In patients with hypertension, but without established cardiovascular disease, predictive factors for sudden cardiac death (SCD) remain undefined. We followed for an average of 10.3 years a cohort of 3242 initially untreated hypertensive patients without

Sudden cardiac death in inherited cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2017
Cardiomyopathy is an important cause of sudden cardiac death particularly in adolescents and young adults. The risk of sudden cardiac death varies between individual cardiomyopathies and is dependent on the severity of disease, age and gender.

Revascularization of a Saphenous Vein Graft Ostial Stenosis in a Patient With Marfan Syndrome and a Previous Bentall Procedure Who was Resuscitated From Ventricular Fibrillation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 24‐year‐old male with Marfan syndrome was admitted following an episode of ventricular fibrillation (VF) during exercise. He had previously undergone multiple aortic surgical procedures for symptomatic aortic regurgitation and an ascending aortic false aneurysm.
