Abstract:
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major cause of death worldwide, with an estimated U.S. annual incidence of 350,000 [1]. This review will examine the influence of race and ethnicity on SCD burden and risk factors, and review the available literature on resuscitation outcomes and primary prevention of SCD. An improved understanding of associations between race, ethnicity, and SCD may provide clues to mechanisms, lead to improved prevention of SCD, and ultimately reduce racial and ethnic disparities in the burden of SCD.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

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...
