Kirschner, R.H.; Eckner, F.A.; Baron, R.C. : The<br />

cardiac pathology of sudden unexplained<br />

nocturnal death in Southeast Asian refugees.<br />

JAMA (KFR) 1986 Nov 21, 256(19), p.2700-5.<br />

Of 18 hearts examined, 14 showed cardiomegaly,<br />

characteristic of increased cardiac work load, 17 had<br />

conduction system anomalies, including persistent fetal<br />

dispersion of the A-V node and/or Bundle of His (14),<br />

accessory conduction fiber connections (13), and<br />

congenital heart block (1). Together with associated<br />

variations in cardiac base structure, these abnormalities<br />

suggest a common aberrant developmental process.<br />
