Routine pathological examination of unexplained sudden cardiac death (USCD) lacks significant morphological characteristics. In the field of forensic medicine, molecular biology methods have been used to find the cause of death by detecting genes and research related to the mechanism of sudden cardiac death has been carried out. From the molecular pathology point of view, the application of multiple levels of biomarkers to resolve the causes of USCD has already shown potential and provides an important path for forensic identification of USCD. This article reviews the latest research progress on USCD-related genes, RNA, proteins and USCD, and summarizes forensic application.

The impact of Omega-3 supplementation on arrhythmia reduction in acute coronary syndrome patients: a randomized clinical trial.
J Complement Integr Med
January 2025
Mostafa Khomeini Cardiovascular and Research Hospital, Ilam University of Medical Sciences, Ilam, Iran.
Background And Objectives: Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs), including Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), represent a major global health challenge. Arrhythmias such as Ventricular Tachycardia (VT), Ventricular Fibrillation (VF), Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs), and Premature Atrial Contractions (PACs) frequently complicate ACS, needing effective management strategies. Omega-3 fatty acids have shown potency in preventing sudden cardiac death by modulating arrhythmias, but their acute effects in ACS patients remain controversial.

Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring, MD, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Spontaneously occurring life threatening reentrant arrhythmias result when a propagating premature beat encounters a region with significant dispersion of refractoriness. Although localized structural tissue heterogeneities and prescribed cell functional gradients have been incorporated into computational electrophysiological models, a quantitative framework for the evolution from normal to abnormal behavior that occurs via disease is lacking.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a probabilistic modeling framework that represents the complex interplay of cell function and tissue structure in health and disease which predicts the emergence of premature beats and the initiation of reentry.
Mitral valve prolapse in sudden cardiac arrest survivors - coincidence or causal relationship?
Heart Rhythm
January 2025
Department of Coronary Artery Disease and Cardiac Rehabilitation, National Institute of Cardiology, Warsaw, Poland.
Background: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) risk stratification in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) may be complicated by other potential causes of arrhythmia.
Objectives: We aimed to characterize SCA survivors with isolated (iMVP) and non-isolated MVP (non-iMVP) and to assess their long-term follow-up.
Methods: This ambispective study included 75 patients with MVP who experienced SCA and were treated in our center between 2009-2024.
Outcomes of catheter ablation in cardiac sarcoidosis patients with ventricular tachycardia: a propensity score-matched retrospective analysis.
J Interv Card Electrophysiol
January 2025
Cardiovascular Department, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX, USA.
Background: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) can lead to sudden cardiac death. The role of ventricular tachycardia ablation (VTA) in CS has been investigated in a few small, single-center, and larger observational studies, but the evidence still needs to be provided. This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of VTA in patients with CS admitted with a diagnosis of VT.

Neth Heart J
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Thorax Centre, Cardiovascular Institute, Erasmus Medical Centre, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Background: Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is associated with poor prognosis, making early diagnosis and treatment important. This study evaluated the results of a diagnostic approach in patients with known sarcoidosis and suspected cardiac involvement in a tertiary centre and their long-term outcomes.
Methods: We included 180 patients with sarcoidosis and a clinical suspicion of CS.
