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.
