Particularly, his contributions to the suddencardiacarrest medical knowledge base have changed the way we think about this deadly condition that we might be able to prevent on a larger scale.” Although “suddencardiacarrest” and “heart attack” are often mistaken to be the same, the conditions are quite different.
He developed cardiacarrest shortly after the ECG in Figure-1 was recorded. C ASE C onclusion: As noted above — today's patient developed cardiacarrest shortly after arrival in the ED. Despite prolonged resuscitation with multiple defibrillation attempts — the patient could not be saved. =
BACKGROUND:Declining cardiovascular mortality rates have been well-documented, yet temporal trends of suddencardiacdeath (SCD) in young individuals remain unclear. Adjudication of SCD cases relied on multiple sources, including death certificates, medical files, and autopsy reports.
Suddencardiacdeath is one of the main causes of mortality in patients with known or occult cardiac disease and is potentially preventable by early resuscitation. 1 Underuse of AEDs is a multifaceted problem with the number of available devices in a given distance to a person with out-of-hospital cardiacarrest (OHCA).
Background:Epicardial patch defibrillators (EPDs) were commonly implanted in the 1990s for secondary prevention of suddencardiacdeath. This case highlights such a scenario.Case:A 75-year-old female with a history of cardiacarrest 30 years ago presented with shortness of breath and left leg swelling.
During the intravenous lacosamide infusion, the patient developed suddencardiacarrest caused by ventricular arrhythmias necessitating resuscitation. Of note, the patient had a family history of suddencardiacdeath. 2893C>T, p.Arg965Cys) in the SCN5A gene.
The study period was defined as the period in which background therapy (ie, beta-blocker type [beta1-selective or nonselective]), left cardiac sympathetic denervation, and implantable cardioverter defibrillator treatment status, remained unchanged within individual patients and was divided into pre-flecainide and on-flecainide periods.
The limb lead abnormalities appear to be part of the Brugada pattern, as described in this article: Inferior and Lateral Electrocardiographic RepolarizationAbnormalities in Brugada Syndrome Discussion Brugada Type 1 ECG changes are associated with suddencardiacdeath (SCD) and the occurrence of ventricular dysrhythmias.
BACKGROUND:Sudden cardiacdeath is the most common cause of death in childhood hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Recently, 2 risk scores have been developed to estimate the 5-year risk of suddencardiacdeath. HCM Risk-Kids and PRIMaCY risk scores were calculated at diagnosis and during follow-up.
Further history later: This patient personally has no further high risk features (syncope / presyncope), but her mother had suddencardiacarrest in sleep. Twenty-one percent (18 of 88) had a family history of suddencardiacdeath and 26.4% (14 of 53) carried a pathogenic SCN5A mutation.
Anderson‐Gill modeling was performed for the end point of CE burden (total number of syncope, aborted cardiacarrest, and appropriate defibrillator shocks). The applicability of the CE prediction model was tested for the end point of the first LTE (excluding syncope and adding suddencardiacdeath) using Cox modeling.
