[Sudden death: surgical aspects]
Abstract:
The article deals with one of the least studied aspects of cardiac surgery: better approaches to managing patients at risk of sudden death. Sudden death due to the sick sinus syndrome commonly occurs in the elderly. In the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, ventricular fibrillation is possible in concomitant atrial fibrillation and high conduction along the Kent bundle. The risk of sudden death is particularly high among patients with ventricular tachycardia. This is most vividly manifested in coronarogenic tachycardia. Patients with allorhythmias and postoperative tachycardia are at high risk. Surgical methods and operative results are discussed.

Overview of Cell Death
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the...
