Cardiac

  • Atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD); AKA coronary artery disease (CAD).
  • Right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
  • Arrhythmia.

Detailed cardiac[1]

  • CAD, hypertrophic CM.
  • Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC).
  • Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
  • Lymphocytic myocarditis.
  • Floppy mitral valve (MV).
  • Aortic valve stenosis.
  • Congenital cardiac abnormality.
  • Coronary artery dissection.
  • Aortic dissection.
  • Arrhythmia.
    • Long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, short QT syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic VT, anomalous conduction pathways, dysplasia of nodal arteries, atrioventricular node tumour.

By mechanism
