| 115080 | OMIM | Sudden cardiac death (SCD) | Unexpected rapid death due to cardiovascular collapse in a short time period, generally within one hour of initial symptoms. It is usually caused by the worsening of existing heart diseases. The sudden onset of symptoms, such as chest pain and cardiac arrhythmias, particularly ventricular tachycardia, can lead to the loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest followed by biological death. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Increased susceptibility to sudden cardiac death may be conferred by AKAP10 variants that are associated with markers of low vagus nerve sensitivity, e.g. fast basal heart rate and low heart rate variability. |
