Key result
Major conduction system lesions were observed in 53.3% of sudden cardiac death cases with severe coronary disease and 72.2% of cases without significant coronary disease.
Observational (n=33)
Absolute Event Rate: 53.3% vs 72.2%
Conduction system lesions are frequently present in sudden cardiac death and should be considered in its pathogenesis, even in the presence of severe coronary disease.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Conduction lesions merit consideration in SCD pathogenesis; leaves open independent role beyond coronary disease.
Suárez-Mier et al. (1995) conducted an observational in Sudden cardiac death (n=33). Severe atherosclerotic coronary lesion vs. Without significant coronary disease was evaluated on Major pathologic changes of the cardiac conduction tissue. Major conduction system lesions were observed in 53.3% of sudden cardiac death cases with severe coronary disease and 72.2% of cases without significant coronary disease.
