In patients with Excited Delirium Syndrome, the normal physiological changes produced by violent activity culminate in sudden cardiac death, often in conjunction with the effects of a drug. This book describes the condition's history. It illustrates the effects that stressors, legal medication, and drugs of abuse have on the cardiovascular system.
A suspect, prisoner, or psychiatric patient becomes violent. The officer or hospital staff struggle to control the person, sometimes with a choke hold or hog tying. Shortly afterward, the patient dies. This illustrates excited delirium syndrome, a condition in which normal physiological changes produced by violent activity culminate in sudden cardiac death. This book discusses the effects of both legal medication and drugs of abuse on the cardiovascular system. The authors also discuss the effects of underlying disease and prevention of the syndrome, the role of the mental health professional, and the "high-risk" individual.
