The link between sudden unexplained death in individuals with mental health problems who are administered antipsychotic drugs has been recognised for over a century.1 A clear relationship has emerged over the past 25 years between antipsychotic drugs, prolongation of the QT interval of the ECG, atypical polymorphic tachycardia known as torsade de pointes (TdP) and sudden cardiac death (SCD).

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

AHA 23: The JEWEL-IDE Study
Author(s): John Hummel Added: 5 months ago
AHA 2023 — In this short interview, we are joined by Dr John Hummel (Ohio State University, US) to discuss the findings from the JEWEL-IDE (NCT05201495) study, which investigated the use of the Jewel patch-wearable cardioverter defibrillator (PWCD) system in participants who were at high risk for sudden cardiac arrest. This was a multicenter, prospective, single-arm trial, with 290 participants… View more

Sudden Cardiac Death and Arrhythmias
Author(s): Neil T Srinivasan , Richard Schilling Added: 3 years ago
An estimated 180,000–300,000 sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) occur in the US annually.1,2 Worldwide, sudden and unexpected cardiac death is the most common cause of death,2 accounting for 17 million deaths every year with SCD accounting for 25% of these. The accepted definition of SCD is death that occurs within one hour of onset of symptoms in witnessed cases, and within 24 hours of last being seen… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Frédéric Schnell , Nathalie Behar , François Carré Added: 3 years ago
Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited cardiac ion channelopathy characterised by a variable degree of QT interval prolongation on ECG and an increased susceptibility to life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (torsades de pointes and ventricular fibrillation) in the absence of morphological cardiac disease. LQTS is estimated to affect one in 2,000 individuals.1 It is usually… 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
