Researchers develop method to predict sudden cardiac death from 1-minute heart rate

A new computational method developed by physicists at Tampere University can be used to estimate the risk of sudden cardiac death from a one-minute heart rate measurement at rest. The study was carried out in interdisciplinary collaboration between cardiology and computational physics.

In India, the health minister recently appointed a panel to investigate the link between young people dying of #SuddenCardiacDeath and #COVID.

"The number of such deaths in people aged less than 50 years was 15% during the pre-Covid time but later shot up to 24%, added Dr Singh."

Covid link in cardiac deaths among youths | Delhi News - Times of India

There has been an unusual increase in the rate of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in apparently healthy individuals with a history of Covid, doctors say.

The case for #COVID19 #vaccines causing #SuddenCardiacDeath is so strong that #DiedSuddenly has to use reports of unvaccinated people dying to make it's case.🤦

Because they are #grifters who make a living off of harming others.

Almost 40,000 Canadians suffer #SuddenCardiacArrest in their home, office, or on the street every year.

We are starting to see anti-vaxx grifters use the fraudulent documentary #DiedSuddenly to push the myth that #COVID #vaccines cause #SuddenCardiacDeath.

Their claim: no one died suddenly before COVID vaccines.

Fact: In Canada in 2019, 40,000 people suffered sudden cardiac arrest outside of hospital & 90% died.

That's 36,000 deaths in 1 country, before COVID19.

Fact: COVID increases the risk of #arrhythmias, which are a major cause of sudden cardiac death. Vaccines do not.

#FactsMatter

They claim #SuddenCardiacDeath in kids "never happened" before #COVID19 #vaccines.

That is a lie.

A 2016 review lists numerous studies that investigated SCD in kids.

None of this is surprising. Anti-vaccine grifters have always promoted myths & lies for profit.

They literally make a living by causing harm & death.

Sudden Cardiac Death in the Young

Although the occurrence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in a young person is a rare event, it is traumatic and often widely publicized. In recent years, SCD in this population has been increasingly see

2. Rates of #SuddenCardiacDeath has ⬆️ in elite athletes because of #vaccines.

Not true. When you read articles that make this claim, their definition of "athlete" is broad, including officials, people doing regular exercise, & retired athletes.

Second, most reported cases in the media contain no information about vaccination & several occurred before vaccines were even available. Many also mention a previous COVID infection, which is linked to sudden cardiac death.

A False Start For Sudden Cardiac Death In Athletes And COVID-19 Vaccines

Social media outlets are once again bubbling with misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines and cardiovascular disease. The latest uproar is over claims of a link between vaccines and increased rates of sudden cardiac arrest in athletes.

Science 2.0

One of the biggest & most persistent myths of this pandemic has been the claim of a link between #COVID19 #vaccines & #SuddenCardiacDeath in #athletes.

Let's look at these claims...

1. Athletes never died suddenly.

Not true. Sudden cardiac death has long been a leading cause of death, even in elite athletes. We knew this before the pandemic. As someone who teaches #cardiology, I've dedicated a whole lecture to this for over a decade. This is not new.
