Unlike a heart attack, cardiac arrest is an electrical malfunction that causes the heart to stop beating suddenly. Without immediate intervention, sudden cardiac death can occur within minutes. Use an automated external defibrillator (AED) if available. Call for emergency medical assistance immediately.

Cardiovascular mortality, driven by sudden cardiac death, is the main reason for dying while waiting for heart transplantation (HTx). Aims Timely referrals for transplantation and left ventricular assist device (LVAD) play a key role in favourable outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure (HF).

ABSTRACT Introduction Brugada syndrome (BS) is a genetic channelopathy characterized by an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the absence of structural heart disease. Prognostic stratification is necessary to determine which patients are candidates for implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).

Sudden cardiac death in cardiomyoptahies: incidence, risk factors and prevention. Significant LGE at CMR; LVEF <50%; abnormal blood pressure response during exercise test; LV apical aneurysm; high-risk genotype. Syncope, LGE on CMR, inducible sustained VT at PES, pathogenic mutations in LMNA, PLN, FLNC, and RBM20.
