Overview

Out-of-hospital sudden death predominates in ASHD; confirms severe diffuse multi-vessel disease but leaves open targeted prevention strategies.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Sudden death cases in a defined area of Baltimore, including those certified by the Medical Examiner.
O
Outcome
Background characteristics, prodromal symptomatology, factors associated with onset, and postmortem findings of sudden death.

Sudden death from arteriosclerotic heart disease is frequently out-of-hospital and associated with severe, diffuse multi-vessel disease rather than acute lesions.
