Abstract Sudden cardiac death (SCD) pathophysiological point of view can be either mechanical or electrical. In case of mechanical SCD, the most frequent causes are pulmonary thromboembolism and cardiac tamponade due to intrapericardial rupture (aortic dissection, heart rupture).

Sudden Death of Entanglement [PDF]
A new development in the dynamical behavior of elementary quantum systems is the surprising discovery that correlation between two quantum units of information called qubits can be degraded by environmental noise in a way not seen previously in studies of dissipation.

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 ...

Air travel by adults with pulmonary disease requires pre-flight medical evaluation and baseline medical examinations to ensure safe travel. We present a case of sudden death on an aeroplane caused by tension pneumothorax, in a patient with known pulmonary disease.

An aura of mystery has always surrounded the subject of sudden unexpected death. Part of the explanation is an absence of a single or unusual explanation, although electrical instability of the heart does serve as a unifying concept for the final common pathway.
