Popis: | Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is unexpected natural death due to cardiac causes, and includes the abrupt loss of consciousness within 1 h from the onset of acute symptoms, with or without preexisting heart disease. It is very difficult to evaluate the exact incidence of SCD because the concept of “sudden events” has not been precisely defined [1]. |
