Sudden cardiac death (SCD) can be defined as unexpected death that occurs within one hour of the onset of symptoms or during sleep in a person who was previously stable. The mode of death, which may be due to an arrhythmic or non-arrhythmic cause, depends on the underlying cardiovascular abnormality (mechanical or electrical substrate). SCD remains a major public health problem worldwide and is…

Several randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have proven the efficacy of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with advanced systolic heart failure (HF) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).1–3 ICD therapy proved to be efficacious also in other conditions at high risk for arrhythmic death such as familial SCD…

Myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with acute risk of early malignant arrhythmias that can be easily treated during in-hospital intensive care by defibrillation, adjuvant antiarrhythmic therapy or even catheter ablation in resistant cases. Indeed, such management resulted in substantial improvement in MI survival rate. Despite the implementation of primary percutaneous coronary…

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, with sudden cardiac death (SCD) accounting for most of these fatalities.1 Considering the growing prevalence of coronary heart disease and cardiomyopathies (see Figure 1) that, taken together, cause most SCDs, effective treatments are needed. Since by definition SCD is ‘sudden’ (generally accepted to be within one hour after onset of symptoms…

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can be defined as the abrupt cessation of cardiac activity due to an underlying cardiac cause, occurring instantaneously in a previously stable patient and in the absence of non-cardiovascular causes (e.g., trauma, intoxication, drowning, electrocution).1,2 SCA will lead to loss of consciousness within the minute due to insufficient cerebral perfusion. If no immediate…

Despite the low prevalence in the overall population, congenital coronary artery (CA) anomalies are frequently found as the cause of sudden death (SD) in the young, particularly in the athletic field.1-11 These anomalies are observed both in paediatric and adult patients, with an equal incidence of SD. Why a patient may survive asymptomatic until adulthood and then suffer from angina, myocardial…
