Sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to ventricular tachyarrhythmias is a leading cause of death in the United States. Various etiologies, including ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, valvular or congenital heart diseases and other less common disorders, may result in SCD.

Cardiovascular Pathology, 2001
The rate of cardiac deaths that are sudden is approximately 50%, and decreases with age. The causes of sudden cardiac death are diverse, and are a function of age. In children and adolescents, coronary anomalies, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and myocarditis are frequent substrates for lethal arrhythmias; in adults, coronary atherosclerosis and acquired ...

Sudden cardiac death is a rare but devastating event. The majority of cases in young athletes are caused by congenital cardiac abnormalities that are routinely clinically silent before causing sudden death. An optimal screening practice to help identify underlying asymptomatic cardiac abnormalities has met with much debate.

Mitral valve prolapse and sudden cardiac death: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Heart, 2018Objectives Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is commonly observed as a benign finding. However, the literature suggests that it may be associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD).

Most sudden deaths in industrial nations are the result of underlying coronary artery disease. Longitudinal studies have demonstrated that the percent of all coronary events presenting as sudden death increases with age in both men and women. Relative weight is another important risk factor; the age-adjusted rate of sudden cardiac death for the upper ...

Sudden cardiac death in athletes
BMJ, 2015Sudden cardiac death is defined as an unexpected death, occurring usually within one hour from onset of symptoms in cases where the death is witnessed and in un witnessed cases within 24 hours of the individual last being seen alive and well.1 Sudden cardiac death in athletes is the leading cause of medical death in this subgroup, with an estimated ...

Risk stratification and primary prevention of sudden cardiac death: sudden death prevention.
AACN Clinical Issues, 2004The initial challenge in primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) lies in identifying those at greatest risk, before the index event. Ventricular fibrillation is the leading cause of SCD; however, many clinical conditions predispose fatal ...

DR. WOLF: Any discussion of sudden death has to be somewhat speculative because we are examining it always after the fact. The pathologist is limited in looking for a structural explanation of what is a functional phenomenon. Sudden death implies a cessation in the delivery of oxygen to the brain, a state that can be accomplished in a variety of ways ...
