Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US with 700,000 deaths annually, of which 460,000 are attributable to sudden cardiac death (SCD). SCD is usually attributed to ventricular fibrillation (VF). Despite recent reductions in cardiac mortality from other causes, the incidence of SCD remains high with minimal decline in the last decade. The large majority of patients who suffer life… View more

In children and young adults, sudden cardiac death (SCD) occurs in approximately 1-2 per 100,000 population.1,2 While the overwhelming majority of occurrences of SCD occur in the adult population and are due to ischemic heart disease, very few cases in a pediatric population are. Pediatric SCD is a relatively uncommon occurrence whose underlying etiology often remains elusive. A long list of… View more

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a public health problem of immense magnitude, afflicting an estimated 300,000 persons per year in the US.1 SCD, defined as death occurring within one hour from symptom-onset, is associated with ischemic heart disease in 80% of cases. Approximately one-third of cases are the result of an acute occlusion of an epicardial coronary artery.2 Some 50% of the mortality… View more
