cardiovascular collapse causes :: Article Creator Sudden Cardiac Arrest: The Hidden Threat To Healthy Young Lives Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) occurs when the heart abruptly stops functioning, leading to haemodynamic collapse and sudden death. It can manifest within an hour of symptom onset in witnessed cases or within 24 hours in unwitnessed cases. In autopsy findings, it is described as a natural, unexpected death due to cardiac or unknown causes. SCA is responsible for nearly 50% of all cardiovascular deaths, with up to half of these being the first sign of an underlying cardiac issue. The causes of SCA vary with age. In younger individuals, primary electrical diseases, cardiomyopathies, myocarditis, and coronary anomalies are more prevalent. In contrast, older populations typically experience SCA due to chronic structural heart diseases, often associated with coronary artery disease, acute coronary events, or valvular heart conditions. Ge...

pulmonary nodule on lung :: Article Creator Atlantic Health Hospitals Add Lung Cancer Detection Tool Atlantic Health System's Overlook Medical Center and Morristown Medical Center are the latest New Jersey hospitals to offer a relatively new lung cancer screening tool.  The Ion endoluminal system is a robotic bronchoscopy platform that helps medical teams perform minimally invasive peripheral lung biopsies. The technology received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in February 2019. Announced during Lung Cancer Awareness Month, the system allows pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons to navigate inside the lungs with more precision and stability for early diagnosis of cancer, according to AHS. Developed by Intuitive, the Ion system features an ultra-thin and -maneuverable catheter that allows physicians to navigate far into the peripheral lung with increased stability and precision.  The catheter can articulate 180 de...
