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. An AED sends an electric shock...

Widely Popular Heart Drug Revealed To Increase Sudden Cardiac Arrest Risks It is estimated that 70 to 80 percent of sudden cardiac arrest incidents happen outside the hospital [6]. Philips, Saudi ministry partner on cardiac programme Javed, who died on Dec 21 from sudden cardiac arrest, was be...
These findings, when taken in conjunction with our previous observation that aborted SIDS infants have a smaller QT index than normal infants, suggest that infants with aborted SIDS have an increase in sympathetic activity or in circulating levels of catecholamines.Hedi L. Leistner and Gabriel G....
participation in physical exercise attenuates the overall risk of SCD both during exercise and at rest. Psychosocial stressors also increase the risk of SCD. Major disasters such as earthquakes and war increase the incidence of SCD in affected populations (Kark et al., 1995). Heavy alcohol ...
In comparison, dogs with acute AVB had low variability (1.3 ± 0.3 ms; n = 9; P < 0.05 versus chronic AVB).Cardiac electrical remodeling after AVB is associated with an increase in beat–to–beat variability of repolarization. Chronic AVB dogs displaying further elevated variability of ...
Fig. 1: Macrophage depletion causes sudden death after right heart stress. a Mouse model of right heart pressure overload (PAB). The pulmonary artery was ligated to increase the RV pressure to 30-35 mmHg from 5-10 mmHg. b Flow cytometric analysis of immune cells in the right atrial ...
demonstrated that elevated levels of hs-cTn were linked with higher adjusted all-cause mortality in the general population [94]. In the PEACE trial, a graded increase in the cumulative incidence of cardiovascular death in those with higher hs-cTnT levels was observed [95]. On the other hand...
When a heart attack occurs in the left ventricle (left lower pumping chamber of the heart), a scar forms. The scarred tissue may increase the risk of ventricular tachycardia. The electrophysiologist (doctor specializing in electrical disorders of the heart) can determine the exact area causing th...
Early recognition of cardiac arrest symptoms, along with a fast, appropriate response, can significantly increase one's chances of survival.3 Sudden Loss of Consciousness The stoppage of blood flow tothe braindeprives the brain of the oxygen and sugars it needs to function, resulting in the loss...
