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.

Sudden cardiac death – Historical perspectives

Indian Heart Journal, 2014
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an unexpected death due to cardiac causes that occurs in a short time period (generally within 1 h of symptom onset) in a person with known or unknown cardiac disease.

Sudden Cardiac Death and Turbulence [PDF]

, 2016
Data acquired from the electrical activity of human hearts during episodes of atrial fibrillation, a disordered arrhythmia that is a major cause of stroke, reveals intriguing features for an excitable media: highly skew symmetric probability dis- tributions with heavy tails, long range correlations, and broad singularity spectra.

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 ...

942-41 Dysplasia of the Atrioventricular Nodal Artery in Patients with Mitral Valve Prolapse and Sudden Cardiac Death [PDF]

, 1995
Patients with isolated mitral valve prolapse (MVP) without significant mitral regurgitation are at a slightly increased risk of sudden cardiac death compared to the normal population. The mechanism(s) of sudden cardiac death in isolated MVP are uncertain.

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 ...

Extreme sacrifice: sudden cardiac death in the US Fire Service [PDF]

, 2013
Firefighting is a hazardous profession which has claimed on average the lives of 105 US firefighters per year for the past decade. The leading cause of line-of-duty mortality is sudden cardiac death, which accounts for approximately 45% of all ...

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.

The Metabolic Syndrome and Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundPrior studies have demonstrated a link between the metabolic syndrome and increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. Whether the metabolic syndrome is associated with sudden cardiac death is uncertain.
