Sudden death syndrome

The pathogenesis of the sudden death syndrome has been postulated to be due to withdrawal of coronary vasodilators (e.g., NG), resulting in vasoconstriction with acute hyper-...

Signs and symptoms of sympathetic nervous system activity are invariably found in MH. Levels of catecholamines are markedly increased in MH. Whether activation of the sympathetic nervous system is a primary or a secondary response in the syndrome has not been fully elucidated. Gronert reported that stress-induced sympathetic hyperactivity can initiate a malignant hyperthermic episode in susceptible swine without a triggering agent. Stress-induced MH in humans has been inferred because susceptible families have been shown to have an increased incidence of sudden death. Gronert s reasons that activation of the sympathetic... 

True. Nicotine, carbon monoxide and other harmful chemicals from the burning tobacco travel in the mother s bloodstream and can reach the foetus. This can result in impaired development and reduced birth weight. Tobacco smoke can also be harmful to young children and babies (sudden infant death syndrome). 

While VTE may initially cause few or no symptoms, the first overt manifestation of the disease may be sudden death.2 Death from PE can occur within minutes, before effective treatment can be given. In addition to the symptoms produced by the acute event, the long-term sequelae of VTE such as the post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS a complication of VTE occurring due to damage to the vein caused by a blood...

However, when compound 15 was tested for h E RG K+ channel inhibition, a basic cardiovascular safety indicator related to the QT prolongation syndrome [32], and linked to ventricular fibrillation and sudden death [33], we were unpleasantly surprised. Although the lead compound 1 exhibited very weak binding to the hERG K+ channel (IC50 > 5000 nM), the optimized compound 15 was afairly potent hERG blocker with an inhibition concentration IC50 of 300 nM (in patch-clamp assay).
