Coronary Artery Disease and Sudden Cardiac Death

Is it Possible to Identify Patients at Risk of Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation?

HeartRhythm

OCTOBER 27, 2024

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a major health problem in all continents. It usually affects older patients suffering from coronary artery disease and cardiomyopathies. This group of patients defines the sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) where the cause of death is unknown.
