Editorial Impact of Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators on Prognosis of Cardiac Arrest Survivors A Continuing Controversy

by unknown authors , 1348
"... C urrently, the implantable cardioverter-defibrilla-tor (ICD) is enjoying widespread acceptance as the treatment of choice for life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias.1 In this regard, the ability of ICD devices to terminate life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias has been indisputably d ..."

demonstrated in both the operating room and the electrophysiology laboratory. Additionally, many studies have demon-strated a much lower rate of sudden cardiac death in high-risk ICD-treated patients compared with either historic controls or sudden death rate estimates derived from device discharges during

Risk Factors for Aborted Cardiac Arrest and Sudden Cardiac Death in Children With the Congenital

by Ilan Goldenberg, Md Arthur, J. Moss, Md Derick, R. Peterson, Phd Scott Mcnitt
"... Background—The congenital long-QT syndrome (LQTS) is an important cause of sudden cardiac death in children without structural heart disease. However, specific risk factors for life-threatening cardiac events in children with this genetic disorder have not been identified. Methods and Results—Cox pr ..."

—Cox proportional-hazards regression modeling was used to identify risk factors for aborted cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death in 3015 LQTS children from the International LQTS Registry who were followed up from 1 through 12 years of age. The cumulative probability of the combined end point was significantly

Sudden Cardiac Death 1978

by Bernard Lown M. D
"... SUMMARY With the development of coronary care units in the 1960s, attitudes toward sudden cardiac death (SCD) began to change as physicians learned that cardiac arrest was reversible. The problem of SCD has two aspects an acute, precipitating factor and a chronic predisposition to electrical instabi ..."

High resolution ecg changes in survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest during and after mild therapeutic hypothermia

by Martin Rauber , Dušan Štajer , Marko Noč , Todd T Schlegel , Vito Starc - in Computing in Cardiology , 2013
"... Abstract Our aims were to determine whether mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) is associated with ECG changes similar to those observed in accidental hypothermia We conclude that hypothermia significantly affects electrophysiological characteristics of heart muscle and suggest that recovery from MT ..."

MTH is associated with increased sympathetic drive. Introduction Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is one of the leading causes of death in developed countries, with an annual incidence ranging from 36 to 81 events per 100000 inhabitants. Post-anoxic encephalopathy is a common complication after an out

Review Traumatic cardiac arrest

by Jason E Smith, Annette Rickard, David Wise
"... Traumatic cardiac arrest is known to have a poor outcome, and some authors have stated that attempted resuscitation from traumatic cardiac arrest is futile. However, advances in damage control resuscitation and understanding of the differences in pathophysiology of traumatic cardiac arrest compared ..."

to medical cardiac arrest have led to unexpected survivors. Recently published data have suggested that out-come from traumatic cardiac arrest is no worse than that for medical causes of cardiac arrest, and in some groups may be better. This review highlights key areas of difference between traumatic cardiac

Management of Brain Injury After Resuscitation From Cardiac Arrest

by Romergryko G. Geocadin, Md A, Matthew A. Koenig, Md A, Xiaofeng Jia, Phd B, Robert D. Stevens, Md A, Mary Ann Peberdy, Md C
"... About 460,000 sudden cardiac deaths from a total of 728,743 cardiacrelated deaths were reported in 1999 in the United States [1]. Thirty-six percent of the sudden deaths were in-hospital cardiac arrest and 64% were out-of-hospital arrest [1]. About 18 % of patients survive to discharge following in- ..."

An Uncommon Cause of Cardiac Arrest

by Walid Trabelsi, Chihebeddine Romdhani, Anis Lebbi, Haythem Elaskri, Iheb Labbene, Mustapha Ferjani
"... A 23-year-old man presented with no previous medical history, was admitted for deep vein thrombosis of the left upper limb. After two days, he suffered severe dyspnea. A chest x-ray evidenced mediastinal nodes and cardiomegaly. A CT scan showed bilateral pulmonary thrombus with occlusion of the righ ..."

Unexplained Cardiac Arrest

by Pieter G. Postema
"... and colleagues from 13 centers in Japan report a candidate gene analysis in unre-lated individuals with an unexplained cardiac arrest (UCA) [1]. Cardiac arrest is most often caused by a cardiac arrhyth-mia named ventricular fibrillation, which, if left untreated, will be lethal within minutes. Moreo ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
. Moreover, ventricular fibrillation is often the first expression of the disease, implying that patients die suddenly with-out any warning. It is thus understandable that cardiac arrest is an extremely difficult phenotype, as its victims will not be pre-symptomatically treated and the vast majority (,85
