by Jacqueline Mitchell, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Credit: JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging (2023). DOI: 10.1016/j.jcmg.2023.05.003 Medical images contain a wealth of information beyond what is visible to the human eye. Now, scientists are using radiomics, a relatively new form of AI that uses a quantitative approach to medical imaging, to extract much more of the data captured in...
by University of Basel Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain The heart disease arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy can lead to sudden death, particularly affecting young athletes. Researchers at the University of Basel have now genetically modified mice, which develop a similar disease to that found in humans. This allowed the team to identify previously unknown mechanisms and potential therapeutic...
by European Society of Cardiology Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Finerenone does not reduce the risk of all-cause death in patients with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease but does lower the likelihood of sudden cardiac death, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session on 29 August at ESC Congress 2022. It is estimated...
by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Adults with abnormal heart metabolism are up to three times more likely to experience life-threatening arrhythmias (an irregular heart rhythm), and MRI techniques could be used to detect the condition and predict future sudden cardiac death (SCD), according to a small, but rigorous study...
by King’s College London Antiarrhythmic and ECG effects of OCT2013 versus lidocaine in rat Langendorff hearts. (a,e) Incidence of ventricular fibrillation (VF), (b,f) heart rate, (c,g) PR and (d,h) QT90 intervals during 30 min of regional ischaemia in hearts perfused with Krebs, OCT2013 or lidocaine. (a–d) Perfusion with test solution started 10 min before coronary ligation (onset of...
by American Heart Association Credit: CC0 Public Domain People living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have a higher risk of sudden cardiac death than people who do not have HIV, especially if the virus is not well-controlled or if they have other heart disease risk factors, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart...
