Article Abstract
Penetrating aortic ulcers typically occur in severely diseased vessels. We present the case of a 46-year-old woman, without extensive atherosclerosis, who had sudden cardiac arrest related to ischemia from a mobile intraluminal aortic thrombus adherent to a penetrating ulcer in the ascending aorta. ().

Background: Current recommendations for a prophylactic (primary prevention) implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in patients with both ischemic and non-ischemic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) originate from clinical trials conducted in selected patients over 20 years ago that showed an overall statistically significant survival benefit associated with a primary prevention ICD in the range of 23%-34%. The recent introduction of angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors [ARNI] and sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors [SGLT2i]) was shown to further reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with HFrEF. Thus, there is an unmet need appropriately designed comparative effectiveness clinical trials aimed to reassess the survival benefit of a primary prevention ICD in contemporary patients with HFrEF.

Brugada syndrome is a rare inherited cardiac arrhythmia disorder primarily characterized by ventricular fibrillation, which can lead to sudden cardiac death. It follows an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance and is most associated with dysfunction of the cardiac sodium channel Nav1.5.

Late-stage mortality is a significant challenge for the poultry industry, leading to substantial economic losses, concerns about animal welfare, and operational sustainability. Heart-related conditions, including ascites syndrome, pulmonary hypertension syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and sudden death syndrome, contribute significantly to this issue. The increasing prevalence of these conditions is potentially linked to intense selection pressure aimed at maximizing meat yield, particularly breast meat.
