Sudden cardiac death epidemiology and demographics
- The prevalence of sudden cardiac death is approximately 1.40 per 100,000 individuals in women to 6.68 per 100.000 individuals in men worldwide.[1]
- In 2015, the incidence of adult in-hospital cardiac arrests was estimated to be 970 cases per 100,000 individuals in the united states.[2]
Age
- Cardiac arrest is more commonly observed within the first year of life due to sudden infant death syndrome and also between 45-75 years old due to increased risk of coronary artery disease.
- There is a significant decrease in sudden cardiac death at age 75 and older due to decreasing risk of coronary artery disease.
Gender
- Men are more commonly affected with sudden cardiac death than women in all age groups.
Race
- Black individuals are more likely to develop cardiac arrest.[3]
