We report an unusual case of a patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, and acquired long QT syndrome who was able to defy the odds of sudden cardiac death in the rarest of circumstances. ().

Cardiovascular Etiologies and Risk Factors of Survival Outcomes After Resuscitation for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Data From the KoCARC Registry.
Korean Circ J
November 2024
Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Korea University Anam Hospital, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background And Objectives: The outcomes and characteristics of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) vary across geographic regions. The etiologies and prognoses of OHCA in Asian populations remain less established. This study aimed to investigate the etiologies and clinical characteristics of patients successfully resuscitated after OHCA and to identify predictors of survival outcomes.

Background -Smoking is associated with arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death, but the biological mechanisms remain unclear. In electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings abnormal durations of ventricular repolarization (QT interval), atrial depolarization (P wave), and atrioventricular depolarization (PR interval and segment), predict cardiac arrhythmia and mortality. Previous analyses of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database for associations between smoking and ECG abnormalities were incomplete.

Background: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is an acute hearing disorder typically managed using steroids. However, prognostic factors of diabetes mellitus (DM) patients undergoing intra-tympanic steroid injections (ITSIs) are unclear. We explored the prognostic factors for ITSI in DM patients with unilateral SSNHL.

J Pediatr
December 2024
Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania.
Objective: To investigate individual-, hospital-, and community-level factors associated with sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) among infants born preterm.
Study Design: The following linked dataset from 5 states (California, Michigan, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina) from 2005 through 2020 was used: 1) infant birth and death certificates; 2) maternal and infant birth hospitalization discharge records; 3) birthing hospital data from the American Hospital Association; and 4) community-level data from the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI).) Multivariable models were used to assess the independent association between these multi-level factors and SUID, adjusting for several maternal and infant characteristics.
The Association Between Chronic Kidney Disease and Third-Degree Atrioventricular Block: A Danish Nationwide Study.
JACC Clin Electrophysiol
November 2024
Department of Cardiology, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is frequently complicated by arrhythmias, plausibly leading to the increased risk of sudden cardiac death in this population. However, little is known about the association between CKD and third-degree atrioventricular block (3AVB) and need for permanent pacing.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between CKD and 3AVB.
