BACKGROUND:Declining cardiovascular mortality rates have been well-documented, yet temporal trends of suddencardiacdeath (SCD) in young individuals remain unclear. Adjudication of SCD cases relied on multiple sources, including deathcertificates, medical files, and autopsy reports. Circulation, Ahead of Print.
