23, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Persons living with HIV (PHIV) who are hospitalized with heart failure are at an increased risk for subsequent sudden cardiac death (
SCD), according to a study published online Aug.
Though most
SCDs in "competitive athletes" occur in younger populations,
SCD during sports is far more common in older athletes, with an estimated incidence of around 21 per 1 million participants per year (Finocchiaro et al 2016).
Stromal corneal dystrophies (
SCDs) affect the stromal or central layer of the cornea.
SCDs show promise as a research method that fits within the "constructivist, diversity-focused epistemology" of counseling (Guiffrida & Douthit, 2010, p.
We know why
SCDs are so important and want to do the right thing, but how do we ensure that our patients stay protected by correctly utilizing
SCDs?
The prevalence of diagnosed schizophrenia among patients with
SCD was 2.5%, significantly greater than the 0.5% figure in controls.
Although some European and international experts recommend that all athletes undergo preparticipation electrocardiogram (EKG) screening, it's unclear whether screening reduces the risk of sudden cardiac death (
SCD); US experts don't recommend it routinely for school-aged athletes (strength of recommendation [SOR]:C, observational studies and expert opinion).
SCDs are investments representing a bank deposit of a specified amount of money for a fixed period of time, which have periodic interest payments and/or a return at maturity that is linked to an underlying asset.
Autopsies were conducted in 454 of the 619 patients with presumed
SCDs. The autopsies revealed definite evidence of
SCD in 224 cases and negative findings strongly suggestive of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome in another 136.
These other diseases receive much more public and physician attention and research funding than does sudden cardiac death (
SCD).
Sickle cell disease (
SCD) is the most prevalent genetic hematological disorder worldwide (Baskin et al., 2000), predominantly affecting populations of West African and African Caribbean descent, as well as populations of Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean origins (Ahmad & Atkin, 1996).
