Stevenson WG, Wiener J, Yeatman L, Wohlgelertner D, Weiss JN. Complicated atherosclerotic lesions: a potential cause of ischemic ventricular arrhythmias in cardiac arrest survivors who did not have inducible ventricular tachycardia. American Heart Journal 116: 1–6, 1988...
Conclusions: These results suggest family/friend events may trigger sudden cardiac arrest and raise the hypothesis that habitual vigorous physical activity may lower susceptibility to these potential triggers. PubMed Disclaimer Figures Figure Description of Case-Crossover Design Similar...
In the last two decades, the incidence of ventricular fibrillation has significantly decreased as the presenting rhythm in sudden cardiac arrest. We hypothesized that beta-adrenergic receptor blocker (beta-blocker) and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, which were commonly used in the primary and ...

This article describes the results of an interview study on the ethical issues related to treating cardiac arrest in potential organ donors in Denmark. The medical background and the Danish guidelines relevant to the issue are described. The results from the interview study are then summarized and...
of ferric iron into ferrous iron, which is then channeled into the labile iron pool via DMT1. The oxidation of PUFA coincides with the formation of ferrous ions. The influx of calcium ions causes mitochondrial calcium overload, leading to a substantial accumulation of ROS, the destruction of ...
The severity, extent, and short-term vs long-term cardiovascular effects of COVID-19, along with the effect of specific treatments are not yet known, and are subject to close scrutiny and investigation. Importantly, during most influenza epidemics, more patients die of cardiovascular causes than ...
Kidney diseases remain one of the leading causes of human death and have placed a heavy burden on the medical system. Regulated cell death contributes to the pathology of a plethora of renal diseases. Recently, with in-depth studies into kidney diseases and cell death, a new iron-dependent ce...
Factors predicting survival included initial rhythm and arrest-to-first-shock interval. The survival rate of 1.6% is low by world standards. To improve the survival rates of people with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the arrest-to-call interval must be reduced and the frequency of bystander ...
the US Institute of Medicine projected that implementation of UDCDD protocols nationwide could generate 22 000 more donation opportunities annually in the United States, substantially reducing waiting times for transplantation.4If deaths by traumatic causes are added to the Institute of Medicine estimate...
