Just got back from my cousins funeral. His widow said he didn't die from a heart attack, although he was about to(90% blockage).
According to her she said the doctor told her her husbands brain just stopped telling the heart to beat. Some sort of miscommunication. Has anybody heard of this? & if so, how can they discern this during the autopsy.

Sorry for your loss, I can send you a nude pic if you think that could help?

LOLOL why arent u in the red yet

Sorry for your loss Hidn, I think that is really putting it into laymen's terms and its hard to really make sense of that for sure.

The heart has its own pacemakers, one major, the SA node, a backup called the AV node and then the cardiac muscle itself will beat (not for long).

But really those can cause heart rhythm irregularities.

He is most likely stating that he went into ventricular tachycardia then V. fibrillation which is an electrical heart attack.

Just discombobulated electrical jumbles and no contraction forcing blood forward, that equals sudden death.

Now, a 90% stenosed left anterior descending artery can cause lack of blood flow meaning the heart gets starved of oxygen then the muscle goes into strange electrical firing causing the fatal arrythmia.

Does that make sense, the coronary disease caused a fatal electrical malfunction, but the heart is essentially its own system. There are other causes of the heart electrical failure but it can just happen.

On autopsy they can look for congenital malformations or diseases of the muscle tissue or structure of the heart to see if there is anything abnormal.
The electrical patterns have long since gone though so mostly not unless ithere is an abnormality.

Make any sense?

Hidndog you may need to delete this thread and make another one because it has been hijacked

Your question was a serious one too.....

Angel, I thought we were friends???

awwww sweetness we are.....welcome to ef...if you have any ? feel free to ask

 

[Cutiebaby]

Why u bomb me, what the shell?

take it like a real woman and move on

Gonna be more, when I reload.

Does that make sense? The heart most likely just went into a fatal arrythmia due to the underlying cardiovascular disease causing irritation of the cardiac muscle resulting in misfired electrical impulses resulting in uncoordinated heart contraction.

That can happen to people but moreso with diseased arteries, the odds go up.
Just one time it happens and people arent saved. When they are saved they put an implantable defibrillator in there in case it happens again.

The blockage would have been most likely easily found on a stress test such as a nuc med test or stress echo, either one includes imaging.

That's something people with heart disease in their family should have dnoe

can u make me a vegimite sandwich?

can u make me a vegimite sandwich?

That stuff sounds disgusting, I hate peanut butter too so its sorta like that I guess.
That used to be my favorite song when I was a kid lol

Yep.She didn't name specific arteries, but she said "One vein only had a pinhole left open". The other arteries were bad also, but the one was almost blocked.
He had just finished playing paintball for 2 hrs, & keeled over in the bathroom after cleaning up. He had a stress test a coupla years ago that was inconclusive. He was a plumber that spent a lot of time on the road, eating road food. He was kind of secretive with his wife, so no one's sure if he had any symptoms. He was afraid of going to the Dr.. Not gonna have to worry about that now.
Thanks a lot.
I'm a gonna go for a stress test.

Yeah, most likely it, ironically its plumbing as well. A fuly clogged drain at home with the water on full blast nothing gets past the obstrucion and backs up.

Well in this case were not concerned about the back but the muscle downstream from the blockage and if its getting blood flow to give it oxygen and most importantly take away waster products.
If proper blood flow doesnt happen the the muscle becomes irritated and then much more likely to go into a fatal arrythmia. Thats the way it goes.
