Disease relevance of Death

 

Psychiatry related information on Death

 

High impact information on Death

  • Studies were selected if they reported at least 1 of the following outcomes: cardiac death, myocardial infarction, study withdrawal due to adverse events, angina frequency, nitroglycerin use, or exercise duration [7].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Diltiazem did not reduce the cumulative occurrence of cardiac death, non-fatal reinfarction, or refractory ischaemia during a 6-month follow-up, but did reduce all composite endpoints of non-fatal cardiac events, especially the need for myocardial revascularisation [8].
  • Survival free of major events (cardiac death, mitral surgery, repeat PMV, or functional impairment) was 69% at 7 years, ranging from 88% to 40% in different subgroups of patients [9].
  • Independent predictors of cardiac death were MCD (P = .007) and female sex (P = .018) [10].
  • The current study was performed to examine whether sex-specific differences exist in these outcomes in a large population of vascular surgery patients and to determine the value of clinical and dipyridamole thallium variables in predicting myocardial infarction and cardiac death [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Death

  • For the total follow-up, mortality remained significantly lower in the amiodarone group versus the control group regarding all deaths (p = 0.03) as well as cardiac death (p = 0.047) [12].
  • In the sicker CAST-II patients (ejection fraction < or = 40%), only diuretic use at baseline interacted significantly with moricizine use for both all-cause death/cardiac arrest and arrhythmic death/cardiac arrest (total mortality hazard ratios, 1.9 versus 0.7 for diuretic use versus no use, P = .01) [13].
  • There were no differences for a hierarchic end point of cardiac death, myocardial infarction or revascularization (14.8% aspirin and dipyridamole vs. 17.8% placebo) [14].
  • While a normal dobutamine echocardiogram predicts low risk of cardiac death (on the order of 1% per year), this risk increases with the extent of abnormal wall motion at rest and stress [15].
  • CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that adenosine MPS has comparable incremental value for prediction of cardiac death in women and men and that MPS is appropriately influencing subsequent invasive management decisions in both genders [5].
 

Biological context of Death

  • The interactions between diltiazem and three parameters of left ventricular function using cardiac death as the end point were investigated in 2,466 patients, aged 25-75 years, who were involved in the long-term diltiazem postinfarction trial [16].
  • There was a diltiazem-related reduction in cardiac death (Cox hazard ratio, 0.76-0.86) for each of the parameters reflecting good ventricular function, and a significant diltiazem-related increase in cardiac death (Cox hazard ratio, 1.52-1.85) for each of the parameters associated with impaired function [16].
  • VR dynamicity (determined from Holter's recordings at baseline) was compared before antiarrhythmic therapy in 118 patients who had cardiac death and 118 matched survivors according to age, gender, left ventricular ejection fraction, and subsequent administration or nonadministration of amiodarone [17].
  • Therefore the injection of small doses of isoproterenol (4 micrograms/min) may be proposed to evaluate the prognosis of patients with CHF; a weak increase in heart rate during this infusion is a sign of bad prognosis with a high risk of cardiac death as a result of CHF [18].
  • Analysis of the corticotrophic cell clumps showed that the suicide victims had higher POMC mRNA density per cell (p = 0.04) and larger corticotrophic cell size (p = 0.04) than the cardiac death victims [19].
 

Anatomical context of Death

 

Gene context of Death

  • In a stepwise Cox regression analysis, including these biochemical markers, age, sex, functional class, and left ventricular ejection fraction, cTnT, and BNP were found to be significantly independent predictors of both cardiac death (p <0.05) and cardiac events (p <0.01) [24].
  • Additionally, nonspecific increases in CA125 and TPS levels might be related to nonmalignant circulatory disturbances and cardiac death [25].
  • In AMI patients with in-hospital complications (n=15; pump failure in ten, recurrent myocardial infarction in one, malignant ventricular arrhythmia in three and cardiac death in one), spontaneous and stimulated levels of TACE and TNF-alpha were higher than in patients without complications (P<0.01) [26].
  • RESULTS: The area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve for the cTnT as predictor of both overall and cardiac death was significantly greater than the area under the cTnI curve (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.01), the BNP curve (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01) or the ANP curve (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.005) [27].
  • Pre-catheterization plasma levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6 along with clinical and hemodynamic variables and follow-up data of cardiac death were assessed [28].
