An analysis published in this week's BMJ is set to re-open the debate over sudden unexpected infant death (cot death). view more (2007-07-20)
Genetic clues to cardiomyopathy's origins revealed in mice
A genetic discovery sheds new light on the cause of cardiomyopathy and sudden death in young adults, which originates in the previously overlooked right ventricle of the heart, said a researcher at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) in Houston. view more (2006-08-21)
Californians urged to help reduce spread of Sudden Oak Death
An update on the increased spread of Sudden Oak Death, a plant disease devastating many of California's coastal oak and tanoak trees, and information on what Californians can do to help reduce its spread will be presented during a news conference on plant diseases that are of importance to California's economy and agriculture. view more (2007-07-16)
Feeling down and out could break your heart, literally
New data published in the March 17, 2009, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggest that relatively healthy women with severe depression are at increased risk of cardiac events, including sudden cardiac death (SCD) and fatal coronary heart disease (CHD). view more (2009-03-10)
Researchers find current drug can treat rare heart disorder
New research has found that the answer to treating a rare inherited heart disorder could lie with a drug already on the market. view more (2009-04-02)
Mayo Clinic research shows young people who died suddenly and inexplicably had genetic heart defects
In 49 young people who died suddenly and inexplicably at an average age of 14, conventional autopsies found no cause of death. view more (2007-01-31)
Competitive athletes not over-represented in sudden cardiac death
Sudden cardiac death among young people is uncommon but is not decreasing. Three times more men than women are affected, and competitive athletes are not over-represented. This is shown a dissertation written by Aase Wisten, Ume'å University, to be publicly defended in the auditorium at Sunderby Hospital on May 25. view more (2005-05-20)
Genetic testing?
Frequently, autopsy becomes the principal diagnostic tool when macro and microscopic analyses provide a conclusive diagnosis in cardiomyopathies. view more (2008-09-02)
Researchers link two more genes to sudden infant death syndrome
Recent discoveries at Mayo Clinic added two more cardiac genes to the list of potential links to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), increasing the possibility that genetic defects of the heart may cause up to 15 percent of SIDS cases. view more (2006-05-19)
Blood Pressure Drug Combination Reduces Heart Attack Deaths
Thousands of patients with high blood pressure could benefit from changing their drug treatment regimen to reduce their risk of cardiac death. view more (2008-09-17)
Gene mingling increases sudden death risk
A multi-national research team has discovered that two genetic factors converge to increase the risk of sudden cardiac death. view more (2009-10-13)
Researchers identify key step in cocaine-induced heart enlargement, sudden death
Cocaine, in concentrations commonly sold on the street, causes the abnormal buildup of primitive proteins in heart muscle - a process causing heart enlargement that can ultimately lead to sudden death. view more (2006-09-08)
Mayo Clinic study finds risk of sudden cardiac death highest early after attack
People who survive a heart attack face the greatest risk of dying from sudden cardiac death (SCD) during the first month after leaving the hospital, according to a long-term community study by Mayo Clinic researchers of nearly 3,000 heart attack survivors. view more (2008-11-05)
Successful prevention of sudden death by ICD has implications for heart failure
Researchers believe a device that treats electrical malfunctions in the heart is so effective at preventing sudden death that very ill patients are living long enough to develop heart failure. view more (2006-06-13)
Hopkins study describes potentially fatal heart condition among young athletes
A Johns Hopkins study has provided the most comprehensive description to date of people most likely to develop a relatively rare heart condition, called arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), known to be among the top causes of sudden cardiac death among young athletes. view more (2005-12-13)
Pacemakers Could Protect Patients With Epilepsy From Sudden Unexplained Death (pp 2157, 2212)
Results of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how interruptions to the heart's rhythm is an under-reported consequence of epileptic seizures, and that the use of cardiac pacemakers by some epilepsy patients could play a future role in protecting against sudden unexplained death. view more (2004-12-15)
Some evidence that breast feeding protects against cot death (SIDS)
Breastfeeding might protect against cot death, suggests research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2002-05-20)
Cell death following blood 'reflow' injury tracked to natural toxin
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered what they believe is the "smoking gun" responsible for most tissue and organ damage after a period of blood oxygen loss followed by a sudden restoration of blood oxygen flow. view more (2006-11-30)
Leading pediatricians group recommends infants sleep in cribs, not parents' beds
Revised American Academy of Pediatrics' guidelines on preventing sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) recommend putting babies to sleep in their own cribs instead of in their parents' beds. view more (2005-10-10)
Parents-and-babies to be filmed in co-sleeping study
The study sets out to examine the natural interaction between parents and babies asleep together, which some researchers have suggested could help to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or cot-death. The results could help to clarify advice to new parents. view more (1998-09-04)
