deathNoninvasivediagnostictestingHypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM) is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death(SCD) in the young, particularly among athletes. Identifying high risk individuals is very important for SCD prevention. The purpose of this review is to stress that noninvasive diagnostic ...
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiovascular condition. It is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young people and children, with an annual mortality rate of 1%. However, 10% to 20% of these patients have a significantly...
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) are both inherited conditions from sarcomere protein gene mutations that affect the heart's rhythm, making it beat irregularly and potentially leading to heart attack and even death. As such, people who ...
How does hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cause sudden death? What does an atrial flutter feel like? Does a pulmonary embolism cause hypotension? Does autonomic dysfunction go away? Define cardiac overload Can hypoxia cause ischemia? If our hearts stop, we will be dead. What happens during a heart tra...

"Sudden cardiac death is a devastating complication inhypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and we need better algorithms to identify those at high risk of developing lethal arrhythmia," said corresponding author Reza Nezafat, Ph.D., director of the Cardiac MR Center at BIDMC and professor of medicine at ...
Editor—Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) is an autosomal dominant disease with a wide range of clinical features; a "benign" condition in some families, it can cause a high incidence of sudden death in others. FHC is caused by mutations in at least nine genes encoding sarcomeric protei...

While some published research has hinted at the connection between the sickle cell trait and sudden cardiac death among young, athletic African-American males, which was initially observed in black military recruits 25 years ago, a new study with the fir
