What might cause sudden cardiac death in young people? Sudden cardiac death is usually caused by abnormalities in the conduction of electrical signals in the heart. When the heartbeat is too fast, the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles) quiver instead of pumping blood properly. This irregular heartbeat is called ventricular fibrillation. Any condition that puts stress on the heart or damages heart tissue can increase the risk of sudden death. Some conditions that may lead to sudden cardiac death in young people include: 1. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death in young people and is a genetic condition that causes thickening of the heart muscle. The thickened muscle makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood, resulting in a faster heartbeat. 2. Arrhythmias. Long QT syndrome is a heart rhythm disorder that can cause fast, chaotic heartbeats and is associated with unexplained fainting and sudden death, especially in young people. Long QT syndrome may be present at birth (congenital long QT syndrome) or may be caused by underlying conditions or certain medications (acquired long QT syndrome). Other arrhythmias that may lead to sudden cardiac death include Brugada syndrome and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. 1. Blunt chest trauma. Conditions that lead to sudden cardiac death due to a blow to the chest are called commotio cordis. When an athlete's chest is struck by sports equipment or another athlete, commotio cordis may occur. This situation does not cause damage to the heart muscle but alters the conduction of electrical signals in the heart. If the chest is struck at a specific point in the signal conduction cycle, it can trigger ventricular fibrillation. 2. Congenital heart defects. Some people are born with heart and blood vessel abnormalities that can reduce blood flow and lead to sudden cardiac death.

Budget 2024: What Singaporeans can expect to get throughout the year

Singaporeans Say Budget Fails to Ease Living Costs: Survey Six in 10 Singapore citizens and residents think that the government’s latest budget measures aren’t enough to help them cope with the rising cost of living, according to a survey. Of the 1,002 respondents polled by Milieu Insight from Feb. 17-19, 62% said the initiatives were insufficient. Those in the 35-44 age group felt most strongly that the measures announced last Friday didn’t go far enough. On whether the steps made respondents “feel more reassured about managing costs of living,” only 35% agreed while 44% reported feeling neutral. Singapore’s ruling party is giving handouts to ease angst over rising costs while navigating a path back to fiscal prudence. The spending plan announced by Finance Minister Lawrence Wong is expected to swing the government budget back to a surplus, after the widest deficit since the pandemic. The S$600 ($445) worth of vouchers that Singaporean households can use at groceries and hawker centers was by far considered to have the most significant impact by respondents to the Milieu poll.  The budget was more conservative than expected, as the Finance Ministry looks to minimize the risks of overheating the economy, said Kai Wei Ang, an economist at Bank of America. The budget address underlined “elevated concerns” about inflation and cost-of-living issues that are closely watched by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the analyst said. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-20/singaporeans-say-budget-fails-to-ease-living-costs-survey-finds

Largest Covid-19 vaccine study yet finds links to health conditions Vaccines that protect against severe illness, death and lingering long Covid-19 symptoms from a coronavirus infection were linked to small increases in neurological, blood, and heart-related conditions in the largest global vaccine safety study to date. The rare events – identified early in the pandemic – included a higher risk of heart-related inflammation from mRNA shots made by Pfizer Inc, BioNTech SE, and Moderna Inc, and an increased risk of a type of blood clot in the brain after immunisation with viral-vector vaccines such as the one developed by the University of Oxford and made by AstraZeneca Plc. The viral-vector jabs were also tied to an increased risk of Guillain-Barre syndrome, a neurological disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nervous system. More than 13.5 billion doses of Covid vaccines have been administered globally over the past three years, saving over 1 million lives in Europe alone. Still, a small proportion of people immunised were injured by the shots, stoking debate about their benefits versus harms. The new research, by the Global Vaccine Data Network, was published in the journal Vaccine last week. The research looked for 13 medical conditions that the group considered “adverse events of special interest” among 99 million vaccinated individuals in eight countries, aiming to identify higher-than-expected cases after a Covid shot. Myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, was consistently identified following a first, second and third dose of mRNA vaccines, the study found. The highest increase in the observed-to-expected ratio was seen after a second jab with the Moderna shot. A first and fourth dose of the same vaccine was also tied to an increase in pericarditis, or inflammation of the thin sac covering the heart. Researchers found a statistically significant increase in cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome within 42 days of an initial Oxford-developed ChAdOx1 or “Vaxzevria” shot that wasn’t observed with mRNA vaccines. Based on the background incidence of the condition, 66 cases were expected – but 190 events were observed. ChAdOx1 was linked to a threefold increase in cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, a type of blood clot in the brain, identified in 69 events, compared with an expected 21. The small risk led to the vaccine’s withdrawal or restriction in Denmark and multiple other countries. Myocarditis was also linked to a third dose of ChAdOx1 in some, but not all, populations studied. Possible safety signals for transverse myelitis – spinal cord inflammation – after viral-vector vaccines was identified in the study. So was acute disseminated encephalomyelitis – inflammation and swelling in the brain and spinal cord – after both viral-vector and mRNA vaccines. Seven cases of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis after vaccination with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine were observed, versus an expectation of two. The adverse events of special interest were selected based on pre-established associations with immunisation, what was already known about immune-related conditions and preclinical research. The study didn’t monitor for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, that some research has linked with Covid vaccines. Exercise intolerance, excessive fatigue, numbness and “brain fog” were among common symptoms identified in more than 240 adults experiencing chronic post-vaccination syndrome in a separate study conducted by the Yale School of Medicine. The cause of the syndrome isn’t yet known, and it has no diagnostic tests or proven remedies. The Yale research aims to understand the condition to relieve the suffering of those affected and improve the safety of vaccines, said Harlan Krumholz, a principal investigator of the study, and director of the Yale New Haven Hospital Centre for Outcomes Research and Evaluation. “Both things can be true,” Krumholz said in an interview. “They can save millions of lives, and there can be a small number of people who’ve been adversely affected.” https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/3252387/largest-covid-19-vaccine-study-yet-finds-links-health-conditions
