Primary cardiac fibroma of the left ventricular myocardium is a rare tumor of the heart which is usually located within the anterior wall and /or septum of the left ventricle and is the second most common cardiac tumor in infant and children. Although the tumor is benign histologically, it may cause severe cardiac dysfunction and sudden death. A 30-day-old neonate with a huge intramural fibroma involving the posterolateral wall of the left ventricle underwent it`s partial resection under extracorporeal circulation on April 1992.

In this study, we present the computational analysis of cardiac arrhythmias that is the major cause of human sudden cardiac death. First, electric excitation and condution in one dimensional cardiac tissue model is solved and the results on condution block are represented. In two dimensional model, vortex daynamics in cardiac tissue is analyzed to delineate the breakup phenomenon inducing ventricular fibrillation. We also simulated a three dimenional heart model to see the vortex breakup and explained the mechanism in physiological aspect.

Cardiac arrhythmia is irregular heart rate. It's one of the reason of unpredictable sudden death. Accurate diagnosis and management of cardiac arrhythmia are the most important factors for the life of patient. To obtain a good prognosis, Dentist should be know and manage the multi-types of cardiac arrhythmia during dental treatment with the cooperation of medical doctor majored in cardiac circulation medicine. We casually found the cardiac arrhythmia in mandible prognathism patient during preparation for orthognathic surgery. Orthognathic surgery for cardiac arrhythmia patient was done successfully under general anesthesia with the temporary cardiac pace-maker.

Cardiovascular disease is at present the leading cause of deth in the United States and other in dustrilized countries. A major contributing factor of cardiovascular disease is essential hypertension. Untreated, essential hypertension is considered a risk factor for sudden death due to myocardial infarctions, as well as a risk factor for cerebral vascular disease, renal failure and congestive heart failure. During the last decade, significant progress has been made in the basic knowledge of the pathogenesis of hypertension as well as in the development of new antihypertensive drugs.

Amitriptyline has been known to induce QT prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias such as torsades de pointes which causes sudden death. We studied the effects of amitriptyline on the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) channel expressed in Xenopus oocytes.(omitted)

The CarboMedics Medical valve has become our mechanical valvular prosthesis of choice because of favorable hemodynamic results that associated with marked clinical improvement and low incidence of thromboembolism after it,s uses. The data for this study was collected from August 1988 to July 1993,five years period. There were total of 57 patients[female 40,male 17 in this series with 4 isolated aortic valve,26 isolated mitral valve,11 double valve and a triple valve replacement. The mean follow up time was 32 months. Postoperatively,58% of cases were in New York Heart Association[NYHA functional class I,and mild and moderate symptoms[NYHA class II were present in 36% and there were very few patients remaining in higher functional classes. In postoperative echocardiographic study, showed marked improved cardiac function. The overall early mortality was 3.5% and the late mortality was one case after triple valve replacement due to sudden death. The causes of early death were attributed to early prosthetic valve endocarditis and heart failure.

Transposition of the great arteries is one of the commonest forms of severe congenital heart disease and produces severe cyanosis threatening survival from the day of birth. Anatomical anomalies which the aorta arises from the infundibulum of the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery arises from the outflow tract of the left ventricle make the deranged circulation. Survival is possible only if additional anomalies are present which allow mixing of the pulmonary and systemic circulations. Preoperative diagnosis as TGA was taken on the 15 day old female via the preoperative examination and the right cordioangiography. As palliative treatment for cyanosis, Blalock-Hanlon operation was performed in this patient. The results were good as 54 mmHg changed from 27 mmHg of $PO_2$ in aorta, but sudden cardiac arrest was developed in postoperative 12 hours. In order to confirm the cause of death and the cardiac anomalies, autopsy was performed on the date of death. The diagnosis of the autopsy showed; [1] Transposition of the Great Arteries. [2] Patent Ductus Arteriosus. [3] Patent Foramen Ovale. [4] Ventricular Septal Defect, 2 Muscular Type. [5] Double Ureter, Right. [6] Artificial Atrial Septal Defect. [7] Total Collapse of the left lung and Intraparenchymal hemorrhage of right lung.

The purpose of this study was 1) to analize the female figures with potbelly in the nude of the 15th-l6th century, 2) to find out the historic event which made these figures appeared, and 3) to clarify the influence these figures on dress. The results were as follows: 1) There was a sudden decrease in population by the Black Death in the Middle of the fourth century, so supplement of labor was urgent demand at that imp. Childbirth was the only way of supplement of manpower. 2) Therefore, the figure of pregnant woman was regarded as the female figure ideal. The artists depicted this figure ideal in nude. 3) This female figure ideal changed the form of dress. Pillow, pad, and special undergarments were used to make potbelly.

A one-year-old female sika deer died suddenly with no preliminary signs during exhibition at a zoo. At necropsy, the carcass was emaciated and had dried fur. Examination of the thoracic cavity revealed a diaphragmatic rupture measuring 2 cm in diameter and a fracture in the middle of the right eighth rib. The liver and lungs had irregular circular discolorations caused by diaphragmatic rupture and subsequent herniation. Dark-brown-colored ascitic fluid, hydrothorax, and yellowish hydropericardium were also observed. The cause of death was determined to be diaphragmatic rupture caused by a rib fracture, which led to respiratory imbalance and circulatory disorders.

Aortic dissection is an uncommon, life-threatening medical emergency that is associated with a high mortality rate, and death from aortic dissection is mainly related to secondary complications, namely cardiac tamponade, severe aortic regurgitation, acute myocardial infarction, and abdominal organ vessel obstruction. Hence, prompt and accurate diagnosis followed by proper treatment is important for patient survival. Herein, we present a rare case of sudden death after aortic dissection with concomitant acute myocardial infarction and cardiac tamponade.
