DOI: 10.1002/clc.23730
Abstract: While obesity has been shown to be associated with elevated risk for Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD), studies examining its effect on outcomes in SCD victims have shown conflicting results. We aimed to describe the body… read more here.

Use of Mendelian randomization to evaluate the effect of atrial fibrillation on cardiovascular diseases and cardiac death
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "ESC Heart Failure"
DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.14237
Abstract: Several observational studies indicated that atrial fibrillation might aggravate other cardiovascular diseases apart from ischaemic stroke. However, it remains to be determined whether these associations reveal independent causation. Using Mendelian randomization (MR), we systematically investigated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lt.24855
Abstract: Transplantation of liver grafts from donation after cardiac death (DCD) is limited. To identify barriers of DCD liver utilization, all active US liver transplant centers (n = 138) were surveyed, and the responses were compared with the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.1954
Abstract: Genetic cardiac diseases are the main trigger of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young adults. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most prevalent cardiomyopathy and accounts for 0.5 to 1% of SCD cases per year. read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00414-017-1583-9
Abstract: BackgroundAcute thoracic aortic dissections and ruptures, the main life-threatening complications of the corresponding aneurysms, are an important cause of sudden cardiac death. Despite the usefulness of the molecular diagnosis of these conditions in the clinical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10517-017-3741-y
Abstract: We studied association of single-nucleotide SCN5A (rs1805124), GJA5 (rs35594137), and KCNN3 (rs13376333) polymorphisms and sudden cardiac death. Humans died suddenly from cardiac causes (N=379) and unrelated sex- and age-matched control subjects were genotyped. No significant… read more here.
