Are symptoms preceding sudden cardiac death in the young common but often misinterpreted?
The patient seeking medical advice before suffering an SCD is characterized by one to three of the following: 1) cardiac-related symptoms or non-specific symptoms often after an infectious disease, 2) a pathological ECG, 3) a family history of SCD. In 6 out of 10 a cardiac diagnosis was not considered. We conclude that symptoms preceding SCD were common but often misinterpreted.
Our results suggest that SINE compounds, such as KPT-330, are promising novel drugs for the targeted therapy of HCC.
