Why the study?
Obesity-related sudden cardiac death is an increasingly important public health problem that warrants a specific focus on improved risk stratification and prevention.
This review highlights the increasing public health problem of obesity-related sudden cardiac death and the need for improved risk stratification and prevention.
Alerts clinicians to obesity-related sudden cardiac death risk; leaves open validated stratification and prevention strategies.
In recent decades, the prevalence of obesity has increased significantly, leading to an epidemic at the global level. Obesity is associated with various metabolic alterations and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. The most devastating manifestation of cardiovascular disease is sudden cardiac death (SCD), leading to substantial years of potential life lost worldwide. Obesity-related SCD is an increasingly important public health problem and warrants a specific investigative focus on improved risk stratification and prevention. In this review, we summarize the current evidence regarding management of SCD in obesity and discuss knowledge gaps as well as future directions in this field.
