Download or read book Enigma of Sudden Cardiac Death written by A. Rashid Seyal and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pathological behavior of a modern man is indebted to the complexity of various environmental encounters acting as unspoken, disconcerting even trivial events of day to day life. Each one of us is exposed to such psychic and socio-cultural strains which are inherent in the particular environments and will sooner or later succumb to the need to fidget and to perform small trivial acts, displaced from usual functional context and injected into quite alien behavior sequences, in an attempt to avoid behavioral stalemates of contradictory urges. It was surprising when somebody had said: such and such garments make me uneasy and sick or I feel completely relaxed with certain blend of Garments. We wanted to make sure, if these influences have lasting maturational influences on the body systems. Because an overload of stress, which may arrive as a big chunk or in a series of small bits, may be a Physical source of insult i.e. accidental trauma, malnutrition, disturbed sleep or Psychological i.e., disturbed family, life, loss of a job, personal insecurity etc. But the more appropriate definition of a stressor is given in the most recent literature. A stressor could be an environmental source, in more scientific words "Extroceptive" i.e., natural calamities, chronic occupational stress, over crowding, territorial conflicts, imposition of stressful behavioral task, etc. This could also be a naturally evoked "Agonistic" behavioral response, such as resulting from confrontation with an attacking animal or an on-rushing car. But the more complex behavioral response of an individual is observed in response to activation of the cutaneous receptors, due to Noxious or Nociceptive Stress. Initially, only painful stimuli were attributed to have such influences. But later scientists used loud noise and noxious cold stimulation and produced similar behavioral responses. Our experience with the Synthetic Blend of Garments showed similar behavioral reactions. We wanted to confirm the local static, thermal and mechanical influences instigated due poor sweat absorption of the Synthetic Blend of Garments could really produce nociceptive type of behavioral responses.
Download or read book The Brugada Syndrome written by Charles Antzelevitch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, the cellular basis for sudden death, the BrugadaSyndrome, has largely remained an unknown to modernarrhythmologists and cardiologists, particularly in the absence ofany structural heart disease. Detailed observations of age-groups,especially the young, families and populations where sudden deathfrequently occurs, and improved understanding of its contributoryfactors and mechanisms are, however, showing the way forward. This addition to the Clinical Approaches to Tachyarrhythmias(CATA) Series, written by the investigators who discovered andprobed the Brugada Syndrome, discusses the history, etiology,pathology and clinical manifestations of sudden death. Fromdiagnosis, prognosis, to therapeutic approaches using the latest incathater ablation techniques, electrophysiological surgery, andgenetic appraisal, the work is a testimony to the author'sinvestigation. Using clinical cases in Thailand and Laos, theyfurther unravel the syndrome's molecular mechanisms, studyingrelated syndromes, such as the long-QT syndrome, infant death, andarryhthmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. By being informed of the electrophysiological abnormalities thatcontribute to familial and genetic diseases, physicians,cardiologists and all those who care for patients with cardiacarrhythmias will be better able to identify and treat patients inwhom the Brugada Syndrome may strike next.
Download or read book Heart Rhythm Disorders written by J. Anthony Gomes and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engaging book covers a multitude of topics related to heart rhythm disorders (HRDs) and uniquely familiarizes readers with the development of treatment modalities over the past several decades, including the evolution of anti-arrhythmic drugs, pacemakers, defibrillators, and catheter ablation. Organized in ten sections, this title serves as both an archival and a contemporary resource for clinicians. The first section describes the discovery of the circulatory system by William Harvey in 1628 and outlines the development and understanding of HRD since the advent of intra-cardiac electrophysiology. Subsequent sections discuss the historical evolution of abnormal heart rhythms, such as supra and ventricular rhythms and sudden cardiac death, their treatment with drugs, surgery, pacemakers, implantable defibrillators and catheter ablation. Section nine offers a fascinating narration of the clinical evolution of overcoming heart attacks and its impact on HRDs. The final section explores potential new frontiers in HRD and the factors that may contribute to the prospective rise of cardiovascular diseases. A ground-breaking and invaluable addition to the clinical literature, Heart Rhythm Disorders: History, Mechanisms and Management Perspectives details the pervasive nature of cardiovascular diseases in human history, their ramifications, and their projected effects on at-risk demographic populations and human health in general.

Download or read book The Man Who Touched His Own Heart written by Rob Dunn and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secret history of our most vital organ: the human heart. The Man Who Touched His Own Heart tells the raucous, gory, mesmerizing story of the heart, from the first "explorers" who dug up cadavers and plumbed their hearts' chambers, through the first heart surgeries -- which had to be completed in three minutes before death arrived -- to heart transplants and the latest medical efforts to prolong our hearts' lives, almost defying nature in the process. Thought of as the seat of our soul, then as a mysteriously animated object, the heart is still more a mystery than it is understood. Why do most animals only get one billion beats? (And how did modern humans get to over two billion, effectively letting us live out two lives?) Why are sufferers of gingivitis more likely to have heart attacks? Why do we often undergo expensive procedures when cheaper ones are just as effective? What do Da Vinci, Mary Shelley, and contemporary Egyptian archaeologists have in common? And what does it really feel like to touch your own heart, or to have someone else's beating inside your chest? Rob Dunn's fascinating history of our hearts brings us deep inside the science, history, and stories of the four chambers we depend on most.
Download or read book J Wave Syndromes written by Charles Antzelevitch and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book delineates the state of the art of the diagnosis and treatment of J wave syndromes, as well as where future research needs to be directed. It covers basic science, translational and clinical aspects of these syndromes. The authors are leading experts in their respective fields, who have contributed prominently to the literature concerning these topics. J wave syndromes are one of the hottest topics in cardiology today. Cardiac arrhythmias associated with Brugada syndrome (BrS) or an early repolarization (ER) pattern in the inferior or infero-lateral ECG leads are thought to be mechanistically linked to accentuation of transient outward current (Ito)-mediated J waves. Although BrS and ER syndrome (ERS) differ with respect to magnitude and lead location of abnormal J waves, they are thought to represent a continuous spectrum of phenotypic expression termed J wave syndromes. ERS is divided into three subtypes with the most severe, Type 3, displaying an ER pattern globally in the inferior, lateral and right precordial leads. BrS has been linked to mutations in 19 different genes, whereas ERS has been associated with mutations in 7 different genes. There is a great deal of confusion as to how to properly diagnose and treat the J wave syndromes as well as confusion about the underlying mechanisms. The demonstration of successful epicardial ablation of BrS has provided new therapeutic options for the management of this syndrome for which treatment alternatives are currently very limited, particularly in the case of electrical storms caused by otherwise uncontrollable recurrent VT/VF. An early repolarization pattern is observed in 2-5% of the US population. While it is clear that the vast majority of individuals exhibiting an ER pattern are not at risk for sudden cardiac death, the challenge moving forward is to identify those individuals who truly are at risk and to design safe and effective treatments.
