A Comprehensive Review on Sudden Cardiac Death in Young

Abstract

While the occurrence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in a young individual is a rare occurrence, it is a distressing event that often receives widespread attention. In recent times, SCD among this demographic has increasingly been recognized as a concern for public health and safety. This analysis presents current information pertaining to the epidemiology of SCD and strategies for prevention, resuscitation, and identification of those at high risk. Areas of ongoing research and debate include the establishment of optimal screening practices, approaches for assessing risk levels, postmortem evaluation, and identification of adjustable obstacles to improving outcomes following resuscitation of young SCD patients. The establishment of a national registry for SCD in young individuals will provide valuable data to address these inquiries
