Sudden cardiac death not related to coronary atherosclerosis

Toxicologic Pathology
Elena LadichAllen Burke

Abstract

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) accounts for approximately 300,000 cardiac events in the United States each year, representing an overall incidence of 0.1-0.2% per year. Although the vast majority of these may be attributed to coronary atherosclerosis, a wide variety of nonatherosclerotic-related cardiac diseases have been associated with SCD. This review highlights three general categories of cardiac disease not related to atherosclerosis: the cardiomyopathies, inflammatory myocardial diseases, and ion channel disorders. The important role played by genetics in some of these cardiovascular diseases is presented as well as toxic and drug-related etiologies.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
