Although the occurrence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in a young person is a rare
event, it is traumatic and often widely publicized. In recent years, SCD in this
population has been increasingly seen as a public health and safety issue. This
review presents current knowledge relevant to the epidemiology of SCD and to
strategies for prevention, resuscitation, and identification of those at greatest
risk. Areas of active research and controversy include the development of best
practices in screening, risk stratification approaches and postmortem evaluation,
and identification of modifiable barriers to providing better outcomes after
resuscitation of young SCD patients. Institution of a national registry of SCD in
the young will provide data that will help to answer these questions.
