Sudden unexplained death syndrome (SUDS)1 is rare in the young but when it occurs it is devastating for family and friends, and affects whole communities. 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

Early Repolarisation – What Should the Clinician Do?
Author(s): Manoj N Obeyesekere , Andrew D Krahn Added: 3 years ago
Early repolarisation (ER) is defined as J-point elevation of ≥0.1 mV in two adjacent leads with either a slurred or notched morphology (Figures 1 to 4).1,2 Numerous studies have established an association with ER and increased risk of death and idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF).1–5 Clinicians face questions such as patient and family counselling, quantitifying the risk of sudden cardiac… View more

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

Brugada syndrome (BrS), one of the most common causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in normal structural heart individuals, is a young entity in modern medicine. BrS was first characterised in 1992 by Brugada et al. as a distinct syndrome with “right bundle branch block, persistent ST elevation in precordial leads V1 to V2–3 and sudden cardiac death”.1 The true prevalence of BrS is not clearly… View more

Ventricular Arrhythmia after Acute MI
Author(s): Justine Bhar-Amato , William Davies , Sharad Agarwal Added: 3 years ago
Ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VAs) most commonly occur early in ischaemia, and patients presenting with an acute MI and ventricular arrhythmias are a group that has a significantly increased risk of mortality.1,2 Thrombolysis primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and use of beta-blockers, while resulting in the modification of the natural history of an infarct, have also reduced the… View more

Monomorphic ventricular arrhythmias (MMVA) are not uncommon in athletes,1,2 yet their presence appropriately raises concern among practitioners for possible increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) during sports activity and competition. While all MMVA detected in athletes warrant further evaluation,1 a majority of MMVA in this population are likely to be benign. In some instances of so… View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a highly prevalent arrhythmia that represents an important burden on healthcare systems. The presence of AF is associated with an increased risk of conditions such stroke, heart failure and dementia. Further, AF is associated with increased mortality. Over the past half century, significant advances have been made in understanding the pathobiology of AF. Important… View more
