Genetics of Sudden Cardiac Death [PDF]
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.

Genetics of Sudden Cardiac Death [PDF]
Introduction: Cardiomyopathies (DCM, HCM, and ACM) and primary arrhythmogenic disorders (BrS, LQTS, and CPVT) represent the most common causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young individuals. Systematic genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)

Cardiac Innervation and Sudden Cardiac Death [PDF]
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 ...

Risk stratification of sudden cardiac death: a review
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is responsible for several millions of deaths every year and remains a major health problem. To reduce this burden, diagnosing and identification of high-risk individuals and disease-specific risk stratification are essential ...
