Circulation, 1998 Sudden cardiac death describes the unexpected natural death from a cardiac cause within a short time period, generally ≤ 1 h from the onset of symptoms, in a person without any prior condition that would appear fatal [1, 2]. Such a rapid death is often attributed to a cardiac arrhythmia, but with the advent of monitoring capabilities from implantable ...

Clinical Cardiology, 1989 AbstractMany reports have described the amounts of atherosclerotic plaque in victims of sudden coronary death, defining the number of coronary arteries narrowed at some point > 75% in cross‐sectional area (XSA). In order to quantitate more precisely the amount and distribution of plaque, 70 victims of sudden coronary death aged 22‐81 years (mean 50)

Forensic Sciences Research, 2019 Cardiovascular disease represents the main cause of death in developed countries. Cardiovascular disease frequently may account for premature fatal outcomes, even in the apparently healthy young, a...

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 ...

Current Problems in Cardiology, 1999
SCD continues to be an important cause of death and morbidity. Despite expanding insight into the mechanisms causing SCD, the population at high risk is not being effectively identified. Although there is still much to do in the management phase of SCD (predicting the efficacy of various therapies), recent clinical trials have helped define the ...

Comprehensive Therapy, 2005
Sudden unexpected death is a major public health problem. Many cases could be prevented if they were anticipated through means of a better awareness among the medical community, new therapies based on early genetic screening, or corrected by countershock.

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.

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.
