Abstract

Causes of sudden death were investigated in 113 chronic dialysis patients who died during the 10-year period from July 1979 to January 1989; postmortem examination was performed on 93 of the cases (autopsy rate; 82.3%). Sudden death was regarded as death 24 h after the onset of acute illness in patients without any restriction in their daily activities. There were 35 sudden death cases out of the 93 autopsied chronic dialysis patients. We analysed the causes of sudden death for all chronic dialysis patients and for those who died suddenly. The mean age of the 93 cases was 61.4 +/- 10.5 years (+/-SD). Stroke was the most frequent cause of death (24 cases, 25.8%) in the 93 autopsied cases. This was followed by cardiac disease in 18 (19.4%), infectious disease in 16 (17.2%), malignancy in 14 (15.1%), and dissecting aortic aneurysm in 5 (5.4%). The mean age of the 35 sudden death cases was 60.9 +/- 10.9 years. Of the 35 sudden death cases in chronic dialysis patients, dissecting aortic aneurysm was the most common cause of sudden death (5 cases, 14.3%), followed by cerebral haemorrhage in three (8.6%), acute subdural haematoma in three (8.6%), acute myocardial infarction in two (5.7%), cerebral infarction in two (5.7%), and subarac...Continue Reading

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
