==Overview== | |||
[[Sudden cardiac death]] ([[SCD]]) is defined as sudden and unexpected [[death]] within one hour of being [[symptomatic]] such as [[palpitation]], [[chest pain]], [[shortness of breath]] or within 24 hours in an [[asymptomatic]] [[patient]] due to [[arrhythmia]] or [[hemodynamic instability]].[[Sudden cardiac arrest]] ([[SCA]]) is suddenly cessation of [[cardiac activity]],unresponsive [[patient]] with [[gasping respiration]] or no [[respiratory]] movement and non-palpable [[pulses]] due to [[cardiac]] etiology such as [[arrhythmia]], and [[pump failure]]. Aborted [[cardiac arrest]] is explained as unexpected [[circulatory collapse]] within one hour of being [[symptomatic]], which is reversible after successful [[cardiopulmonary resuscitation]]. [[Sudden infant death syndrome]] ([[SIDS]]) is [[sudden death]] when the [[heart]] is structurally normal without any specific findings in [[autopsy]] or [[toxicology]] <ref name="pmid36844932">{{cite journal| author=Calvo Cuervo D| title=Comment on the ESC Guidelines 2022 for the Management of Patients with Ventricular Arrhythmias and the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death. | journal=Eur Cardiol | year= 2023 | volume= 18 | issue= | pages= e01 | pmid=36844932 | doi=10.15420/ecr.2022.48 | pmc=9947934 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=36844932 }} </ref>. | |||

Overview
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is defined as sudden and unexpected death within one hour of being symptomatic such as palpitation, chest pain, shortness of breath or within 24 hours in an asymptomatic patient due to arrhythmia or hemodynamic instability.Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is suddenly cessation of cardiac activity,unresponsive patient with gasping respiration or no respiratory movement and non-palpable pulses due to cardiac etiology such as arrhythmia, and pump failure. Aborted cardiac arrest is explained as unexpected circulatory collapse within one hour of being symptomatic, which is reversible after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is sudden death when the heart is structurally normal without any specific findings in autopsy or toxicology [1].
Classification
There are some definitions related to cardiac arrest including:[2]
Classification | Definition |
---|---|
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) | Sudden and unexpected death within one hour of being symptomatic or whitin 24 hours in asymptomatic patient due to arrhythmia or hemodynamic instability |
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) | Suddenly cessation of cardiac activity,unresponsive patient with gasping respiration or no respiratory movement and unpalpable pulses due to cardiac etiology such as arrhythmia, pump failure |
Aborted cardiac arrest | Unexpected circulatory collapse within one hour of being symptomatic, which is turned back after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation |
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) | Sudden death if structurally normal heart without any specific findings in autopsy or toxicology |
sudden unexplained death in infancy (SUDI), sudden unexplained death syndrome (SUDS) | Sudden death without any specific findings in autopsy in adult (SUDS) or infants less than 1 year (SUDI) |
- The table below provides information on the characteristics of sudden cardiac arrest in terms of ECG appearance:
