TUESDAY, Jan. 26, 2021 (HealthDay News) Women are more likely than men to suffer sudden cardiac death (SCD) during nighttime hours, according to a study published online Jan. 19 in
Heart Rhythm.
Archana Ramireddy, M.D., from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai Health System in Los Angeles, and colleagues characterized nighttime SCD (occurring from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.) using data from the Oregon Sudden Unexpected Death Study.
The researchers identified 4,126 SCD cases (66.2 percent male), of which 22.3 percent occurred during nighttime hours. Women were more likely to suffer from nighttime SCD than men (25.4 versus 20.6 percent). Female sex (odds ratio, 1.3), medications associated with somnolence/respiratory depression (odds ratio, 1.2), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease/asthma (odds ratio, 1.4) were independently associated with nighttime SCD.

What is heart failure?
Heart failure doesn t mean the heart has stopped beating. Quite simply, heart failure happens when the heart muscle can t pump enough blood to supply the body s needs. And it can happen to anyone even if you have a healthy lifestyle or never had a heart attack.
An inherited heart condition, or a poorly managed disease such as diabetes which can damage the heart, could nudge you into a higher risk status. What s not as easy to comprehend is that heart failure is multifaceted. It can be mild, with no symptoms, or it can be quite severe in which a patient needs a heart transplant to survive.
A study at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has found that during nighttime hours, women might be more likely than men to suffer sudden death due to cardiac arrest, the hospital reported today.
