SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH: EPIDEMIOLOGY, ETIOLOGY, PATHOGENESIS AND RISK FACTORS
https://doi.org/10.17802/2306-1278-2024-13-4S-159-167
Abstract
Highlights
The review presents modern available data on the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, and risk factors for sudden cardiac death.
Abstract
Russia remains one of the leading countries regarding high mortality from cardiovascular diseases. Sudden cardiac death is an urgent and significant issue in modern medicine, it is associated with a high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and a large number of sudden cardiac deaths in the overall mortality rate from cardiovascular pathologies. Middle-aged (working-age) men are predominately at risk, thus making sudden cardiac death a socio-economic issue as well. At the same time, the issue of detecting predisposition to sudden cardiac death remains unresolved and urgent, since a large number of people who passed away due to sudden cardiac death were not diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. The review is devoted to modern research and current ideas about the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis and risk factors for sudden cardiac death.
