Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an important public-health problem with multiple
etiologies, risk factors, and changing temporal trends. Substantial progress has
been made over the past few decades in identifying markers that confer increased
SCD risk at the population level. However, the quest for predicting the high-risk
individual who could be a candidate for an implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator, or other therapy, continues. In this article, we
review the incidence, temporal trends, and triggers of SCD, and its demographic,
clinical, and genetic risk factors. We also discuss the available evidence
supporting the use of public-access defibrillators.
