Background: This study analyzed trends in the frequencies and rates of natural deaths associated with sport and recreation activities in Québec, Canada, from January 2006 to December 2019, and investigated their etiology and characteristics.
Methods: This descriptive retrospective study utilized data from coroner reports, as well as autopsy and police reports. Activity-specific incidence rates were calculated using participation data from the (ÉBARS) and Canadian census population data.
Titin truncating variants (TTNtv) are the main genetic cause of dilated cardiomyopathies (DCMs). The phenotype and prognosis of probands have been evaluated in several large cohorts. However, few data are available on intrafamilial expressivity.

- The study aimed to assess how well dynamic SPECT with quantitative analysis of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) can detect coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with new left bundle branch block (LBBB).
- The evaluation involved 174 patients with LBBB, finding SPECT abnormalities in only a small percentage, and highlighting a correlation between reduced MFR and fixed defects, although only a few patients had significant CAD after further examination.
- The conclusion suggests that routine screening for CAD in patients with presumed new LBBB may not be necessary, given the low incidence of actual CAD found.
