To date, there is a sufficient amount of data on the nature of diseases associated with the risk of sudden death. It is shown that many of them are genetically determined, and this is particularly dangerous, since not only the patient who has been diagnosed with the disease, but also his children and close relatives are at risk. Such diseases are rarely detected in normal clinical practice, and patients die, as a rule, not in specialized hospitals, but at home or on the street, and the doctor of the polyclinic or the ambulance crew remains to state the death. Cardiologists often pay attention only to the first symptoms of the disease, primarily syncope and palpitations, but also often the first and last manifestation of the disease is sudden death. Modern clinical medicine identifies a number of diseases and syndromes that are closely associated with a high risk of sudden death at a young age. These include one of the most «mysterious» diseases — Brugada syndrome (SB).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
