• Severe Clinical Course

  After a severe clinical course, the baby had external left ventricular assist as a bridge to heart transplantation. 1.5 months after transplantation, the baby suffered sudden cardiac death (SCD) despite maximal treatment in the pediatric intensive care [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Diastolic Hypertension

  Five trials based entry on diastolic hypertension ( USPHSHCSG 1977 ; VA‐I 1967 ; VA‐II 1970 ; VA‐NHLBI 1978 ; UKPDS38 1998 ); six trials based entry on either systolic or diastolic hypertension ( Coope 1986 ; EWPHBPE 1985 ; HSCGS 1974 ; MRC‐TMH 1985 ; [doi.org]

For athletes with documented or suspected heart disease of any kind, including arrhythmias, the book presents practical guidelines for diagnostic workup, therapy, recommendations about exercise, and eligibility for athletic competition. [amazon.com]

The focus is on exclusion of known phenotypes/genotypes or, alternatively, the blind workup of a relative of an undiagnosed cardiac arrest. [patient.info]

Summary of Findings Good Treatments Are Available for People at Risk for Sudden Cardiac Death Drug treatment for sudden cardiac death has improved over the years. [archive.ahrq.gov]

Withdrawals due to adverse effects were increased in the drug treatment group to 12.8%, as compared with 6.2% in the no treatment group. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment in a Hospital If you survive SCA, you'll likely be admitted to a hospital for ongoing care and treatment. In the hospital, your medical team will closely watch your heart. [web.archive.org]

Various studies suggest a potential application of biomarkers in diagnostics, prognosis and treatment response. Further approaches include microRNAs or multimarker approaches. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

All of these blood levels tend to be abnormal in the most functionally impaired patient, so they tend to separate the patient with a very bad prognosis from a bad prognosis. [content.onlinejacc.org]

Currently, the etiology, pathogenesis, and pathophysiology of ECPA are unknown. Cases of ECPA with a history of allergic disorders are rare. Only one case of ECPA with tissue eosinophilia in another organ has been reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology is usually arrhythmia. The most common cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes is hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, which accounts for approximately one-third of cases. [healio.com]

Trials have demonstrated that implantable-cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are effective in preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Eighteen studies evaluated amiodarone for primary prevention and six for secondary prevention. Only three studies used an ICD concomitantly with amiodarone for the comparison (all of them for secondary prevention). [cochrane.org]
