Population

138 nonhospitalized patients between the ages of 35 to 75 who experienced sudden death due to coronary heart disease in southeastern Montgomery County, Maryland.

Outcome

Circumstances of sudden death, including location, presence of premonitory symptoms, and potential for aid by mobile coronary care units.

The majority of sudden cardiac deaths occur at home and are often unwitnessed, severely limiting the potential life-saving impact of mobile coronary care units.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Mobile coronary care units may aid few sudden deaths; leaves open whether prevention or home-response strategies merit study.
