syncope should be evaluated with a history, physical examination, ECG, and selective use of other diagnostic tests when there is suspicion of structural heart disease or primary electrical abnormalities that may predispose to recurrent syncope or sudden

hypertrophy of the myocardium It is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the affected population. Both men and women are affected equally and people of any age and race are at risk of developing HCM. It is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death SCD in young adults, especially athletes.

Introduction Firefighters are presented with a job that is dangerous and at times requires them to put their lives at risk. Over the past 30 years, an average of 100 firefighters die annually in line of duty deaths (LODDs). Although 100 firefighter deaths per year may seem to be an acceptable number, it would seem that the advances in firefighter’s knowledge, structural gear, equipment, and apparatuses would cause a decrease in LODDs over the years. One way this can be accomplished is by reviewing

In 2011, the United States Fire Administration (USFA) reported that 83 firefighters forfeited their lives while on the job. 87 line-of-duty-deaths (LODD) occurred in 2010, 115 in 2005, and 81 in 1993. Throughout the history of the United States’ Fire Service, firefighters have been dying in the line of duty at a disturbingly dependable rate of approximately 100 each year. Although technological innovations and a cultural shift towards safety have had a significant impact in curbing firefighter LODD’s

Sudden death Young Competitive Athletes is subject to many risk factors, and cardiovascular risk factors seem to be the leading cause. Decreasing or minimizing the risks associated with this health concern is the key. A study over 27 years of time span consisted of 1866 athletes that range from 38 various sports was conducted in the hope of better understanding this heath crisis. Athletes who suffered sudden death or survived cardiac arrest with an age range of 19±6 within the United States were

behavioral problems (Doweiko, 2012). Additionally, infants who were exposed to alcohol in utero have an increased risk of dying from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) particularly if the mother binge drinks during the first trimester (CDC, 2016). Effects on the Family Women who abuse alcohol are not only hurting themselves and their unborn babies. Existing children can be effected by a mother who drinks too much as well.

beriberi. Wet beriberi can effect heart function and, in the most extreme cases, heart failure. Dry beriberi damages the nerves and can lead to a loss of muscle strength and, eventually, muscle paralysis. If left unchecked and untreated, it can cause death. Symptoms: The symptoms of this disease vary depending on the type, wet or dry. The following are symptoms of wet beriberi: • shortness of breath during physical activity • rapid heart rate • swollen lower legs • waking up short of breath • decreased
