Genetic Testing in the Evaluation of Unexplained Cardiac Arrest
The majority of sudden cardiac arrest occurs in older individuals and is because of underlying coronary artery disease or structural heart disease. When initial evaluation with ECG, coronary angiography, and echocardiography is normal, a wider differential diagnosis exists. Comprehensive clinical evaluation of initially unexplained cardiac arrest survivors will diagnose an inherited arrhythmia ...
متن کاملThe Aassociation between Pre-Cardiac Arrest Comorbidity and Unsuccessful Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Patients with Cardiac Arrest
Background and Objective: Patients suffering from cardiac arrest (CA) have poor prognosis and survival. The association of pre-arrest comorbidity with unsuccessful resuscitation in patients with CA is far from clear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between pre-existing comorbidity and unsuccessful resuscitation following CA in Iranian patients. Materials and Met...
متن کاملProcainamide infusion in the evaluation of unexplained cardiac arrest: from the Cardiac Arrest Survivors with Preserved Ejection Fraction Registry (CASPER).
BACKGROUND Provocative testing with sodium channel blockers is advocated for the evaluation of unexplained cardiac arrest (UCA) with the primary purpose of unmasking the typical ECG features of Brugada syndrome. The Cardiac Arrest Survivors with Preserved Ejection Fraction Registry (CASPER) systematically assesses subjects with UCA or a family history of sudden death (FHSD). OBJECTIVE The pur...
متن کاملGenetic Testing in the Evaluation of Unexplained Cardiac Arrest: From the CASPER (Cardiac Arrest Survivors With Preserved Ejection Fraction Registry).
BACKGROUND Unexplained cardiac arrest may be because of an inherited arrhythmia syndrome. The role of genetic testing in cardiac arrest survivors without a definite clinical phenotype is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS The CASPER (Cardiac Arrest Survivors with Preserved Ejection Fraction Registry) is a large registry of cardiac arrest survivors where initial assessment reveals normal coronary ar...
متن کاملSystematic assessment of patients with unexplained cardiac arrest: Cardiac Arrest Survivors With Preserved Ejection Fraction Registry (CASPER).
BACKGROUND Cardiac arrest without evident cardiac disease may be caused by subclinical genetic conditions. Provocative testing to unmask a phenotype is often necessary to detect primary electrical disease, direct genetic testing, and perform family screening. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with apparently unexplained cardiac arrest and no evident cardiac disease (normal cardiac function on echo...
