SCA results from sudden disruptions in the heart’s electrical activity, leading to ineffective blood pumping and rapid loss of consciousness and pulse. Without immediate interventions like cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation, SCA is overwhelmingly fatal. Global survival rates for out-of-...
Results show that increased pulse wave reflections compound the increase in arterial blood pressure, and the increased work...Gessman L. JJ. K-J. LiJ. LewendowskiH. YamazakiR.H. HelfantThe American Journal of Cardiology
An increase in the number of LH pulses was detected within 6 h after the change from the high to the low dose of progesterone (2-0.5PRID), and frequency of LH pulses was similar to that of cows in the 0.5PRID group for the remainder of the period of blood collection. LH pulse ...
1,2 In one trial, this benefit appeared to be at least partly due to an increase in the plasma level of α-linolenic acid (an n-3 fatty acid) in the Mediterranean diet arm.3 Small to moderate amounts of n-3 fatty acids have been demonstrated to have antiarrhythmic effects4 and to ...
In line with our result, a previously published meta-analysis suggested that T2DM is associated with an about twofold increase in SCD with zero heterogenicity between studies5. Previously, we demonstrated among the Tehranian population newly diagnosed diabetes, generally, had the same risk as ...
[For the] increase of knowledge and … the useful application of the knowledge gained, … there never is a sudden beginning; even the cloud change which portends the thunderstorm begins slowly. — William Thomas Councilman From address, 'A Medical Retrospect'. Published in Yale Medical Journal ...
Sudden cardiac arrest is a life-threatening emergency that causes an abrupt loss of heart function. It is usually fatal when it occurs outside of a hospital but a prompt response with CPR chest compressions and use of an AED can increase the odds of survival. ...
When we analyzed the hearts from 7 cap2−/cap2− (3 males and 4 females), 2 cap2−/cap2+ and 6 cap2+/cap2+ mice by histology, trichrome staining revealed a modest increase in right and left ventricular chamber size with abundant interstitial fibrosis separating and replacing the ...
In the adolescent population, increased awareness of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and appropriate screening may decrease the frequency of sudden death. Public education and the widespread availability of AEDs will increase survival. Can cardiac arrest be prevented?
This may increase the work of breathing and cause blockage of the device. Retention of blood-stained or proteinaceous fluid in the HME filter will easily be detected,3 but clear secretions might not be. The Humid-Vent® filter compact we used consists of plastic transparent housing, a ...
