Arrhythmias and ion channelopathies causing sudden cardiac death in Hispanic/Latino and Indigenous populations

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract The limited literature and increasing interest in studies on cardiac electrophysiology, explicitly focusing on cardiac ion channelopathies and sudden cardiac death in diverse populations, has prompted a comprehensive examination of existing research.

Sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmia in diabetes mellitus: A bench to bedside review

HeartRhythm

Diabetes mellitus (DM) confers an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) independent of its associated cardiovascular comorbidities. Diabetes mellitus induces adverse structural, electrophysiological, and autonomic cardiac remodeling which can increase one’s risk of ventricular arrhythmias and SCD.

Circadian (Diurnal/Nocturnal) Pattern of Cardiac Arrhythmias

HeartRhythm

Triggers for and/or the occurrence of sudden cardiac death (SCD), and cardiac arrhythmias seem to follow such daily patterns.

PO-01-161 SURVIVING PURKINJE FIBERS WITHIN THE SCAR PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE ARRHYTHMOGENIC SUBSTRATE OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

HeartRhythm

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the most important causes of mortality in the world. Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major risk factor for SCD associated with significant pro-arrhythmic structural and electrophysiological ventricular remodelling.

PO-05-201 PHARMACOLOGICAL MODULATION OF THE ARRHYTHMIC SUBSTRATE IN TIMOTHY SYNDROME: A PORCINE MODEL STUDY

HeartRhythm

Contemporary antiarrhythmic treatment of Timothy syndrome 1 (TS1) is inadequate to prevent sudden cardiac death. Using electroanatomic mapping (EAM) we discovered cardiac activation delay, which creates the milieu for functional reentrant ventricular arrhythmias.

Late life?threatening arrhythmia in patients with Brugada syndrome: Results from long?term follow?up in a large Japanese cohort

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Patients with Brugada syndrome who are asymptomatic and have no ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation inducibility by programmed electrical stimulation are at extremely low risk of experiencing late life-threatening arrhythmias. Methods Patients with BrS ( n  = 523; mean age, 51 ± 13 years; male, n  = 497) were enrolled.
