Sudden Cardiac Death
Also written as SCD.
ECG evidence for left ven Normal\ntricular hypertrophy is a major noninvasive marker of\nincreased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality\nrates, including sudden cardiac death.
What our notes say
- ECG evidence for left ven Normal\ntricular hypertrophy is a major noninvasive marker of\nincreased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality\nrates, including sudden cardiac death. (Harrisons Cardiovascular Medicine 2nd Edition 2)
- Class IB antiarrhythmic agents (e.g., lido- tion in the right precordial leads and a history of syn caine) that do not cause QT prolongation may also be cope or aborted sudden cardiac death are predictors of\nused, though they are frequently ineffective. (Harrisons Cardiovascular Medicine 2nd Edition 2)
- Aortic stenosis (calcific): Fixed outflow obstruction → LV pressure overload — LV concentric hypertrophy, myocardial ischaemia, syncope, sudden cardiac death, heart failure — Once mean gradient > 40 mmHg or symptoms develop, median survival < 2 years without valve replacement (Heart murmurs)
- Sudden cardiac death: Malignant ventricular arrhythmias secondary to scar, electrolyte disturbance, or severe LV dysfunction — Low EF (<35 %), prior ventricular ectopy, syncope episodes (Heart failure: which tests and why)
- Sudden Cardiac Death: Often due to arrhythmias or acute right heart failure. (Pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale)
- Haemodynamic: Cardiogenic shock, acute pulmonary oedema, syncope, sudden cardiac death. (Arrhythmias and ECG interpretation)
