An evolutionary approach to continuously estimate CPR quality parameters from a wrist-worn inertial sensor [PDF]
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is one of the most critical emergency interventions for sudden cardiac arrest. In this paper, a robust sinusoidal model-fitting method based on a Evolution Strategy inspired algorithm for CPR quality parameters -- naming chest compression frequency and depth -- as measured by an inertial measurement unit (IMU ...

A Broken Heart: Cardiac Arrest As the Initial Presentation of Myasthenic Crisis [PDF]
Myasthenic crisis is a life-threatening condition commonly associated with respiratory failure and may present in unusual ways. However, there is paucity in the literature about the cardiac manifestations of myasthenia gravis.

Male Pseudohermaphroditism Presented with Sudden Cardiac Arrest [PDF]
Torsades de Pointes is a life-threatening arrhythmia associated with a number of causes, but is very rare among endocrinologic disorders. We report a case of male pseudohermaphroditism with hyperaldosteronism due to a 17α-hydroxylase deficiency presented

Comparative Safety of Sulfonylureas and the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Arrest and Ventricular Arrhythmia
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between individual antidiabetic sulfonylureas and outpatient-originating sudden cardiac arrest and ventricular arrhythmia (SCA/VA). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study using 1999–2010

Comprehensive Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease in Sports-Related Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
Despite the cardiovascular benefits of regular sports, sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) risk is increased during or shortly after exercise. Association with coronary artery disease (CAD) has been described in small studies, mainly autopsic with potential bias
