TL;DR: The increasing awareness that automated external defibrillators may not always prove successful in the secondary prevention of sudden death for athletes with cardiovascular disease underscores the importance of preparticipation screening for the prospective identification of at-risk athletes and the prophylactic prevention of cardiac events during sports by selective disqualification.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the risk of cardiac arrest due to torsade de pointes (TdP) in the acquired form of drug-induced long-QT syndrome (LQTS) is a rare but potentially catastrophic event in hospital settings.

TL;DR: Surgical myectomy performed to relieve outflow obstruction and severe symptoms in HCM was associated with long-term survival equivalent to that of the general population, and superior to obstructive HCM without operation.

TL;DR: Overall, 21% of BrS probands have mutations in SCN5A compared to the 2% to 5% background rate of rare variants reported in healthy control subjects, which may help further distinguish pathogenic mutations from similarly rare but otherwise innocuous ones found in cases.

TL;DR: The National Library of Medicine's Visible Human Male data set consists of digital magnetic resonance (MR), computed tomography (CT), and anatomic images derived from a single male cadaver.
