Cardiac arrest with successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation and survival induce histologic changes that correlate with survival time and lead to misdiagnosis in sudden arrhythmic death syndrome

Jose Coelho-Lima et al. Resuscitation. 2022 Jun. Read the paper here Background: Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS), defined as sudden cardiac death (SCD) with a morphologically normal heart, is an important cause of sudden death. Hypoperfusion due to cardiac arrest followed by successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may induce histologic changes that mimic pathologic conditions. Detailed […]
