📄 JAMA Patient Page: An #Autopsy is a medical examination performed by pathologists that can help identify an individual’s cause of death. This JAMA Patient Page explains the 2 main types of autopsy in the US, how often autopsies are performed, and how they can identify unsuspected diagnoses, complications of disease or treatment, and findings relevant to family members and #PublicHealth. ja.ma/3WpYxsA

💡 JAMA Insights: In the US, #Autopsy remains important for #PublicHealth surveillance, cause-of-death determination, and identification of diagnostic errors, treatment complications, and emerging disease patterns. Yet fewer than 8% of deaths undergo autopsy, and consented hospital autopsy rates have declined substantially over the past 60 years. ja.ma/47RhDKH

Dr. Zian Tseng and the @SF_POSTSCD team’s research is featured in @UCSF Magazine. A 15-year UCSF investigation is overturning long-held assumptions about why people die without warning. magazine.ucsf.edu/sudden-dea…

Sudden Death, Misunderstood

“How are we going to save victims of cardiac arrest if we don’t know which ones are really cardiac?” A UCSF cardiologist’s 15-year investigation is upending what we thought we knew about sudden death.

🎙️ #JACCばらん Ep.70 | 心臓突然死の“定説”を剖検で問い直す‼️心臓突然死の約80%は虚血性心疾患—長く語られてきたこの前提、本当に今の実態を反映しているのでしょうか。サンフランシスコ郡全体を対象とした前向き剖検コホート POST SCD Study から、心筋梗塞による突然死の実像に迫ります。 🎙️ ゲスト 中須賀 公亮 先生（名古屋市立大学医学部附属西部医療センター / UCSF） 本研究では、院外心停止943例を前向きに捕捉し、剖検・薬物検査・組織学的評価により死因を詳細に判定。剖検確定の心臓突然死のうち、心筋梗塞が原因だったのは41%でした。 👉 心筋梗塞による突然死：41% 👉 そのうちMINOCAは約10% 👉 急性MIによる突然死では責任病変はRCAが最多 👉 MINOCAでも心筋線維化は同等 👉 MINOCA突然死の一部は心破裂・ポンプ不全など非不整脈死 🧠 Take-home ・病院で見る心筋梗塞と、地域で起きている突然死は同じではない ・“心臓突然死＝虚血が8割”という前提は再考が必要かもしれない ・剖検だからこそ見える、突然死予防の新しい視点 Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=4_eb_kHZ… Video:jacc.org/digital-content/vid… Podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… @kosukenakasuka @SF_POSTSCD @JamesSalazarMD @jkewcharoen @foreverhero0819 @MitsuakiSawano @Nobu0129 @KenEjiri @SS_cardiol @SK2798  @ACCinTouch @JACCJournals #JACCばらん #SuddenCardiacDeath #MINOCA #心筋梗塞 #不整脈 #JACC #CardioTwitter

In this 7-year countywide study, 2% of sudden deaths and 2.5% of confirmed SCDs had a genetic cause. Findings do not support routine genetic testing for community SCDs, especially without autopsy. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacep… #JACCCEP #EPeeps @SF_POSTSCD @JamesSalazarMD
