Key result
Sudden cardiac death predominantly affects middle-aged men without prior cardiovascular disease.
Why the study?
Detecting predisposition to sudden cardiac death remains an unresolved and urgent issue, particularly as many individuals who die from sudden cardiac death have no prior diagnosis of cardiovascular disease.
This review highlights the significant socio-economic impact of sudden cardiac death, particularly among working-age men, and underscores the need for better detection of predisposition in asymptomatic individuals.
Highlights The review presents modern available data on the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, and risk factors for sudden cardiac death. Abstract Russia remains one of the leading countries regarding high mortality from cardiovascular diseases. Sudden cardiac death is an urgent and significant issue in modern medicine, it is associated with a high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and a large number of sudden cardiac deaths in the overall mortality rate from cardiovascular pathologies. Middle-aged (working-age) men are predominately at risk, thus making sudden cardiac death a socio-economic issue as well. At the same time, the issue of detecting predisposition to sudden cardiac death remains unresolved and urgent, since a large number of people who passed away due to sudden cardiac death were not diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. The review is devoted to modern research and current ideas about the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis and risk factors for sudden cardiac death.
