Published: December 2024

Myocarditis, a life-threatening disease that can result in cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death, has garnered significant attention in recent years. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the management of myocarditis-related sudden cardiac death, encompassing its pathology, diagnostic methods, therapeutic strategies, preventive measures, prognostic factors, and risk stratification. Additionally, the review highlights current challenges and future directions in this field. The aim is to enhance understanding of myocarditis-related sudden cardiac death and inform clinical practice, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.

Center for Cardiac Arrest Prevention, Department of Cardiology, Smidt Heart Institute, Cedars-Sinai Health System, Los Angeles, CA, United States.

Background: Individuals with end-stage renal disease may be at increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) associated with dialysis therapy. However, community-based studies with comprehensive adjudication of SCA are lacking.

Methods: We conducted a community-based study using a case-case study design in a US population of ≈1 million.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of epilepsy-related death, likely stemming from seizure activity disrupting vital brain centres controlling heart and breathing function. However, understanding of SUDEP's anatomical basis and mechanisms remains limited, hampering risk evaluation and prevention strategies. Prior studies using a neuron-specific conditional knockout mouse model of SUDEP identified the primary importance of brain-driven mechanisms contributing to sudden death and cardiorespiratory dysregulation; yet, the underlying neurocircuits have not been identified.

Introduction: Mutations in EMD are related to an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. There is a lack of data concerning ventricular arrhythmia ablation in Emery-Dreifuss patients.

Methods And Results: We present a case of successful ablation of a short-coupled ventricular ectopy (VE) triggering recurrent ventricular fibrillation (VF) episodes in a EMD patient with an intraseptal substrate.

Aims: The aim of this study was to examine differences in incidence rates of all-cause mortality (ACM) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in persons of differing socioeconomic position (SEP).

Methods: All deaths in Denmark from 01-01-2010 to 31-12-2010 (1 year) were included. Autopsy reports, death certificates, discharge summaries and nationwide health registries were reviewed to identify cases of SCD.
