Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD)

Not only does this paper discuss the affect caffeine has on BP and heart rate, but it also goes into great depth on the other affects caffeine can have on the human body. While this source provides one with a lot of information, we would mainly be using the information on the cardiovascular effects and possibly behavior. This source can also be used in order to find additional sources because it discusses many results from previous studies and trials.

The results from Graph 1 and Graph 2 clearly show that there was a very large spike in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, which occurred between the 20-30 minute marks. This pattern is consistent throughout the 5 days, which supports the research conducted by Harvard University that caffeine causes an increase in adrenaline and therefore, blood pressure in the body. It is also to be noted that the spike in systolic blood pressure increased as the dosage of caffeine increased, except for the 114mg serve of caffeine, which had a larger increase in blood pressure than the 142.5mg serve. This could have been due to the surrounding conditions of the consumer since although the starting

← Moreover, when they are given caffeine of a high concentration their heart may beat so fast that will cause their death.

Caffeine is a wildly use drug in today’s society. Caffeine is a methylated xanthine which acts as a mild central nervous system stimulant (MS & RL, 2001). It is a stimulant which acts upon the central nervous system and increases alertness, wakefulness and restlessness and it increases the release of catecholamine from renal medullar (Fernandez, 2016; Collines, 2007). It is present in many beverages. Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, soft drinks, products containing chocolate (cocoa) and some medication (Collines, 2007). It is used as a cardiac and respiratory stimulant (Collines, 2007).Caffeine is the most frequently ingested pharmacologically active substance in the world (Collines, 2007).

Premiere Hospital of Newport Beach (PHNB) is concerned about providing caffeinated coffee to patients waiting to be seen in their waiting room. Other hospitals serve it, but PHNB wants to make an informed decision around this based scientific inquiry. The big question for hospital administration is whether caffeinated drinks have a significant impact on heart rates. The research is aimed at evaluating

Participation in high intensity sporting activities is widely considered to be a contributor to positive cardiac health. However, for a portion of the athletic population, sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) poses a serious risk (Chatard, Mujika, Goiriena, & Carre, 2016). Although considered rare with estimates of one death every three days in the United States (Pigozzi, Rizzo, & Maffulli, 2009), the impact of the often-fatal event resonates through society due to the young age of the athlete and the immediacy of the decline of the perceived healthy person (Chatard et al., 2016).

The case I chose was published in The Baltimore Sun. The title of the article is, Prosecutors: No Charges against Baltimore officer who used Taser on teen. This article is about a 19 year-old teen named George Vonn King Jr. who died from cardiac arrest. The article states that Mr. King was tased several times by police, before going into cardiac arrest (George). This incident took place at the “MedStar Good Samaritan hospital” in Baltimore MD, where Mr. King was admitted as a patient. Mr. King suffered from Meningitis which causes seizures, along with aggressive behavior. When King was asked by hospital staff to move to the intensive care unit, he became aggressive, which may have been because of the medication he received (George). Hospital

I want to learn more about Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), which is the unexplained death of an assumed to be healthy infant. Therefore, I will do my literature review paper in relationship to how SIDS is association with physical factors such as brain abnormalities, low birth rates, and respiratory infections. Also, how the sex, age, race, environment and family history relates to SIDS. I do not have children but it is a great mystery to me how and why some children suddenly die without an explanation. Being a professional social worker I feel having more insight about SIDS can help me educate others.

The wide receiver catches the football and immediately drops to the ground, unconscious. This is exactly how unexpected sudden cardiac arrest is in adolescents. The reported incidence of pediatric sudden cardiac death ranges from 0.8 to 6.2 cases per 100,000 children in the United States every year (Berger, Kugler, Thomas, and Friedberg 1201). Approximately 20-25% of the deaths occur during sports (Gajewski and Saul 107). “Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a condition in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. If this happens, blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs (“What is Sudden Cardiac Arsrest?”).” Sudden cardiac death, or SCD, usually occurs “within one hour of onset symptoms

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a significant issue affecting national health policies. The National Emergency Department Information System for Cardiac Arrest (NEDIS-CA) consortium managed a prospective registry of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) at the emergency department (ED) level. We analyzed the NEDIS-CA data from 29 participating hospitals from January 2008 to July 2009. The primary outcomes were incidence of OHCA and final survival outcomes at discharge. Factors influencing survival outcomes were assessed as secondary outcomes.

. Energy drinks have been very popular. Due to many consumers buying energy drinks, there have been observations of people experiencing ventricular arrhythmias and death.

Thesis: Caffeine is something that almost everyone has consumed and some people are even addicted to. Caffeine has negative and positive effects on one’s health

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is major public health problem. SCD continues to be one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, with an annual incidence estimated at 250000 to 300000 in the United States and with the vast majority occurring in the setting of coronary disease and other cardiac events. I performed the systematic review of journal article ranging from 2006 to 2016 with appropriate information related to sudden cardiac death and related consequences, the context of problem and related solution. SCD is so immediate that detailed study should be performed to understand and to review in better depth with screening evaluation and permanent treatment.

Caffeine has many negative effects on humans, such as increased heart rate (Lane, J.D., 2002), depression (Goldstein, 2008), and addiction to this “drug.” You may be asking yourself, “What is caffeine?” Well, caffeine is actually a stimulant (Barone, Roberts, 2008) that is found in beverages such as tea, coffee, and soft drinks. In fact, caffeine is the highest grossing and most used stimulant in the United States (Barone, Roberts, 2008). It is estimated that 85% of adults living in the United States consume caffeine on a daily basis (Barone, Roberts, 2008). That means for every 100 adults, 85 of them have had a drink that contained caffeine on any given day. One reason caffeine is so widely available compared to other stimulants is

We can assume that coffee consumers consist of a significant number of people who are at a higher risk of developing heart disease (HD). It may be due to various reasons such as genetic predisposition for HD, smoking and sedentary lifestyle.
