Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is usually defined as death due to cardiac causes occurring within 1 hour of the onset of symptoms. Unexplained sudden death occurring in an individual older than 1 year of age is known as 'sudden unexplained death syndrome'. Unexplained sudden death occurring in an individual younger than 1 year of age is known as 'sudden unexplained death in infancy'. SCD with… View more

Between Sudden Cardiac Death and Catheter Ablation
Author(s): Josep Brugada , Roberto Keegan Added: 3 years ago
The best clinical approach to managing asymptomatic patients with ventricular pre-excitation has yet to be established. The clinical benefit of identifying and treating asymptomatic patients at risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) has been debated since catheter ablation became effective and safe for the treatment of accessory pathways (APs). Data supporting current recommendations are mostly… View more

Sudden Cardiac Death Risk Stratification and Prevention in Chagas Disease: A Non-systematic Review of the Literature
Author(s): Roberto Keegan , Cynthia Yeung , Adrian Baranchuk Added: 3 years ago
Chagas disease is an important public health problem in Latin America. Almost 25% of the population (approximately 65 million individuals) are at risk of infection and another 6 million people are affected.1 However, migration and globalisation have resulted in the increased presence of Chagas disease worldwide, particularly in the US and Europe. Chagas disease is caused by a parasite, the… View more

That it can affect fit, athletic individuals and may be related to competitive sports only adds to the sense of incomprehension and injustice felt by wider society. In comparison with the older population, where sudden death is more common and… View more
