  2. Hypoglycemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoglycemia

    Other causes of serious illness that may cause hypoglycemia include liver failure and kidney failure. [ 3 ] [ 17 ] The liver is the main site of glucose production in the body, and any liver failure or damage will lead to decreased glucose production.

  3. Neurogenic shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogenic_shock

    Neurogenic shock is a distributive type of shock resulting in hypotension (low blood pressure), often with bradycardia (slowed heart rate), caused by disruption of autonomic nervous system pathways. [1] It can occur after damage to the central nervous system, such as spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury.

  4. Hs and Ts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hs_and_Ts

    Hypoglycemia was removed from the Hs and Ts by the American Heart Association in their 2010 ACLS update. [5] The association between hypoglycemia and sudden cardiac death is unclear. Moderate and severe hypoglycemia were both associated with increased mortality; however, giving dextrose is also associated with worse outcomes in one trial. [6]

  5. Complications of diabetes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complications_of_diabetes

    The complications of diabetes can dramatically impair quality of life and cause long-lasting disability. Overall, complications are far less common and less severe in people with well-controlled blood sugar levels. [3] [4] [5] Some non-modifiable risk factors such as age at diabetes onset, type of diabetes, gender, and genetics may influence risk.

  6. Fatty-acid metabolism disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty-acid_metabolism_disorder

    Hypoglycemia [7] Enlarged heart [7] Muscle weakness [7] Heart failure [7] While at rest, some exhibit cardiac arrhythmia (commonly various forms of tachycardia, but more rarely, conduction disorders or acute bradycardia); while others have a normal heart rhythm [8]

  7. Diabetic hypoglycemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_hypoglycemia

    Diabetic hypoglycemia can be mild, recognized easily by the patient, and reversed with a small amount of carbohydrates eaten or drunk, or it may be severe enough to cause unconsciousness requiring intravenous dextrose or an injection of glucagon. Severe hypoglycemic unconsciousness is one form of diabetic coma. A common medical definition of ...

  8. List of causes of hypoglycemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_causes_of_hypoglycemia

    Recurrent mild hypoglycemia may fit a reactive hypoglycemia pattern, but this is also the peak age for idiopathic postprandial syndrome, and recurrent "spells" in this age group can be traced to orthostatic hypotension or hyperventilation as often as demonstrable hypoglycemia. [citation needed] Insulin-induced hypoglycemia

  9. Bradycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradycardia

    However, bradycardia can also result without dysfunction of the native conduction system, arising secondary to medications including beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, antiarrythmics, and other cholinergic drugs. Excess vagus nerve activity or carotid sinus hypersensitivity are neurological causes of transient symptomatic bradycardia ...
