Cardiac Arrest: Hispanics, Latinos With Kidney Disease at High Risk
Hispanics and Latinos with chronic kidney disease are at significant risk for suffering from sudden cardiac arrest, according to a new study from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai.
Study: Individuals Feel Sex-Specific Symptoms Before Impending Cardiac Arrest
Investigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai are one step closer to helping individuals catch a sudden cardiac arrest before it happens, thanks to a study published today in the peer-reviewed journal The Lancet Digital Health.
Nationwide Children’s Hospital Emphasizes Importance of Lifesaving AED & CPR Training for Schools and Communities
While sudden cardiac arrest is rare, it can happen to anyone at any time – including children, non-athletes and healthy individuals. Educating youth and adults to act swiftly and use an AED when they witness medical emergencies can help save lives. The AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses potentially life-threatening heart rhythms and delivers a shock only if necessary.
Heart Rhythm Disorders: What You Need to Know
Heart rhythm disorders like atrial fibrillation and sudden cardiac arrest have made headlines in recent months, prompting many to learn more about how the heart beats.
What is an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED)?
Following the unfortunate cardiac event that millions of people witnessed during Monday Night Football this week, there is heightened awareness of the need for immediate treatment for sudden cardiac arrest. The most important equipment to have nearby should sudden cardiac…

Genetic Score Detects Those at Risk for Sudden Cardiac Death
Researchers in the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai are one step closer to identifying patients at highest risk for developing sudden cardiac death—an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes it to stop beating.
New Tool Predicts Sudden Death in Inflammatory Heart Disease
Johns Hopkins University scientists have developed a new tool for predicting which patients suffering from a complex inflammatory heart disease are at risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Published in Science Advances, their method is the first to combine models of patients’ hearts built from multiple images with the power of machine learning.
UC San Diego Health Joins Clinical Trial to Treat Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Cardiovascular physicians with UC San Diego Health have joined an international clinical trial utilizing a new Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (EV ICD) system to help treat sudden cardiac arrest.
20-year Mayo Clinic study suggests return to play is manageable for athletes with most genetic heart diseases
Receiving the diagnosis of a genetic heart disease such as long QT syndrome, which can cause sudden cardiac death, has long been a game-ender for young athletes. But a 20-year study at Mayo Clinic following such athletes who were allowed to return to play suggests that the risks can be managed through a shared decision-making process. The retrospective study findings will be presented at the annual meeting of the Heart Rhythm Society on Tuesday, July 27, and simultaneously published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Women At Higher-Risk of Fatal, Nightime Cardiac Arrest
New research from the Center for Cardiac Arrest Prevention in the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai has found for the first time that during nighttime hours, women are more likely than men to suffer sudden death due to cardiac arrest. Findings were published in the journal Heart Rhythm.
Electrocardiogram shows value in college athletes’ screens
Research published today indicates that screenings that incorporate an ECG are more effective at detecting cardiac conditions that put athletes at risk, and more efficient in terms of cost-per-diagnosis of at-risk players, than screenings involving only a physical exam and patient history.
‘M-RISE’ Research Program Aims to Prevent Brain Damage Caused by Cardiac Arrest
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – For the more than 350,000 Americans that experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest each year, less than 1 in 10 of those treated will survive with good neurologic function. “Survival for these patients decreases with every minute there is a delay…
