Sudden death is probably the greatest challenge in modern cardiology. After reviewing its history, we describe the epidemiology of sudden death and its associated diseases. We highlight its physiopathologic aspects, including the factors that act on vulnerable myocardium triggering the final arrhythmia, mainly ventricular fibrillation and, to a lesser ...

Cardiovascular Pathology, 2001
The rate of cardiac deaths that are sudden is approximately 50%, and decreases with age. The causes of sudden cardiac death are diverse, and are a function of age. In children and adolescents, coronary anomalies, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and myocarditis are frequent substrates for lethal arrhythmias; in adults, coronary atherosclerosis and acquired ...

Abstract 1. 1. When application of the term “sudden death” is limited to instances wherein death occurred more or less instantaneously and in some degree unexpectedly, the vast majority of its victims will be found to suffer from organic heart disease, predominantly coronary occlusive disease. 2. 2.

Sudden death in athletes is a tragic, but fortunately infrequent, event. In young athletes (30 years old and younger) structural cardiovascular disease, often congenital, is usually responsible. Athletes over 30 years old who die suddenly are most frequently found to have severe atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.

The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, 1982
The literature regarding the association of psychosis and/or neuroleptic medication with sudden, unexpected, “autopsy negative” death is surveyed. Richardson's work is reviewed; in particular his conclusion that acid muco-polysaccharide deposition in the cardiovascular systems of his patients was of etiologic significance in their deaths.

Competitive sports activity is associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiovascular death (SCD) in adolescents and young adults with clinically silent cardiovascular disorders. While in middle-aged/senior athletes atherosclerotic coronary artery disease accounts for the vast majority of SCDs, in young athletes the spectrum of substrates is wider ...

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2013
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) affects a significant percentage of young individuals. SCDs are due to genetic heart disorders, such as cardiomyopathies and channelopathies. In the present review, we will describe the recent advancements in understanding the genetic and molecular basis of hereditary cardiac diseases.Considerable progress has been made in ...

The Lancet, 1975
Of 21 sudden deaths in sportsmen, 18 were thought to be caused by heart attacks either during or after sport. There was firm evidence of ischaemic heart-disease in 9, strongly suggestive evidence in 7, but in 2 there was only suggestive clinical evidence.

HCM, as well as coronary and myocardial structural abnormalities, is the most common pathology leading to SCD in young athletes. Furthermore, SCD from fatal arrhythmia seems to be the most common mechanism of death. In this population, however, data are insufficient to support either invasive or noninvasive approaches to clarify risk stratification for

A volunteer participating in a study of eproxindine, a new antiarrhythmic agent, had a sudden cardiorespiratory arrest and died. Subsequently it became known that he had received a depot injection of flupenthixol on the day before his death; an interaction between these two drugs seems likely.
