Sudden cardiac death

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2003
Sudden cardiac death is a rare but devastating event. The majority of cases in young athletes are caused by congenital cardiac abnormalities that are routinely clinically silent before causing sudden death. An optimal screening practice to help identify underlying asymptomatic cardiac abnormalities has met with much debate.

Sudden Death

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.

Sudden Death

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1992
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.

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1999
Survivors of an episode of out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation (not due to a reversible cause) or hemodynamically significant sustained ventricular tachycardia should in most cases receive an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) rather than antiarrhythmic drug therapy. A number of recently published clinical trials (summarized later) point

Sudden adult death

Forensic Science, Medicine, and Pathology, 2009
In the investigation of sudden death in adults, channelopathies, such as long QT syndrome, have risen to the fore in the minds of forensic pathologists in recent years. Examples of these disorders are touched upon in this review as an absence of abnormal findings at postmortem examination is characteristic and the importance of considering the ...

Sudden Cardiac Death

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 1995
This article uses a biologic model of sudden cardiac death to identify structural abnormalities that serve as the substrate for sustained arrhythmias and functional changes that are transient and necessary for triggering an arrhythmia. The biologic framework is a valuable tool to use in understanding the relationship between structure and function and ...

Sudden death screening

Medical Clinics of North America, 1994
SCD is a tragic-event that rarely affects exercising individuals. It is important for the practitioner to recognize the normal physiologic changes that occur in the exercising athlete that correspond to AHS so as to differentiate them from conditions placing an athlete at risk for SCD.
