Immunisation is not linked to sudden infant death
Vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis is now given at ages 2, 3 and 4 months in the UK, which coincides with the peak age for the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). However, a study in this week's BMJ finds that immunisation is not linked to sudden unexpected death in infancy and may even protect against it. All sudden unexpected... view more... (2001-04-03)

Heart enlargement is a common cause of sudden death in young people (p 1881)
A seminar in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights the frequency, diagnosis and management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, an unexplained thickening of the heart in young adults that has a 1% annual risk of sudden death. Dr. Perry Elliott from University College, London, UK and Professor William McKenna from The Heart Hospital, London state... view more... (2004-06-02)
Recurrence of sudden infant death syndrome has been overestimated
Recurrence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is rare and has been overestimated by studies which have tried to quantify it. view more (2007-06-12)
Implantable defibrillators save lives but may increase heart failure risk
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death but may increase the risk of subsequent heart failure in patients who live longer, according to a study published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2006-06-13)
Risk of sudden cardiac death appears increased within 30 days of heart attack
The risk of sudden cardiac death following a heart attack has declined significantly in the past 30 years, although patients appear to be at elevated risk for sudden cardiac death for the first month after having a heart attack, after which time their risk decreases unless they develop heart failure, according to a study in the November 5 issue of... view more...

Rhythm abnormality of unknown origin strongly predicts sudden death risk in heart disease patients
Researchers conducting a large, ongoing study to improve detection and prevention of sudden cardiac death were surprised to discover that a specific heart rhythm abnormality - idiopathic QT interval prolongation - increased risk five-fold among patients with coronary artery disease. view more (2009-02-03)
Estimates of child abuse in sudden infant death may have been too high

Sex unlikely to cause a stroke and may reduce risk of sudden death
Middle aged men should be heartened to know that frequent sex is not likely to increase their risk of stroke. It may actually reduce the risk of sudden death, suggests research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. view more (2002-01-15)

An angry heart can lead to sudden death, Yale researchers find
Before flying off the handle the next time someone cuts you off in traffic, consider the latest research from Yale School of Medicine researchers that links changes brought on by anger or other strong emotions to future arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrests, which are blamed for 400,000 deaths annually. view more (2009-02-25)
Sports-related sudden cardiac death is reduced by pre-participation cardiovascular screening
Young competitive athletes are perceived by the general population to be the healthiest members of society. The possibility that highly trained athletes may have a potentially serious cardiac condition that can predispose to life-threatening tachyarrhythmias or sudden cardiac death seems paradoxical. view more (2008-09-02)
