Factors associated with high-intensity physical activity and sudden cardiac death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Heart BMJ

Background High-intensity physical activity has traditionally been discouraged in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy due to concerns about triggering sudden cardiac death. However, current guidelines adopt a more liberal stance, and evidence on risk factors for exercise-related sudden cardiac death remains limited.

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.

Understanding the Difference Between Heart Attack and Cardiac Arrest

MIBHS

Without immediate intervention, sudden cardiac death can occur within minutes. Preventing Heart Attacks and Cardiac Arrest Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk of both heart attack and cardiac arrest. This results in a failure to pump blood to the brain and other vital organs.

Alcohol is neither a risk factor nor a protective factor for sudden cardiac death and/or fatal ventricular arrhythmia; a population-based study with genetic traits and alcohol consumption in UK Biobank

HeartRhythm

The association between alcohol consumption and risk of sudden cardiac death and/or fatal ventricular arrhythmia remains controversial.

Sudden cardiac death after acute myocarditis with arrhythmic presentation: hunting for risk predictors - a systematic review and meta-analysis

Open Heart

Background Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) frequently occur in the acute phase of myocarditis. Possible arrhythmic recurrences and the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in this setting are reasons for concern, and limited data have been published to guide clinical management of these patients.

Abstract 4139536: Incidence of Severe QT Prolongation and the Assoicated Risk of Ventricular Arrhythmias and Sudden Cardiac Death in Patients Taking Antipsychotics or Antidepressants

Circulation

Background:Limited data exist on the incidence of severe QT prolongation (SQTP) in patients using antipsychotics or antidepressants and the associated risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD).Aims:This ms and +6.7 ± 36.1 ms, respectively.

PO-02-041 PROSPECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF RISK FACTORS FOR APPROPRIATE ICD INTERVENTION IN PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC CARDIOMYOPATHY: RESULTS OF PARCADIA TRIAL

HeartRhythm

There is an unmet need for better risk stratification for sudden cardiac death in the era of primary prevention ICD therapy. Scar burden on LGE-CMR imaging may be a risk marker for ventricular arrhythmia post-myocardial infarction (MI).
