“…Spontaneous coronary artery dissection in the left descending coronary artery and anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery can also precipitate SCD (Aksakal et al 2014; et al 2015). Dilatation of a coronary artery segment to a diameter of more than 1.5-fold its normal size is defined as coronary artery aneurysm (CAA), and contained rupture of mycotic CAA in the left circumflex coronary artery has been reported as a cause of myocardial ischemia (MI) or SCD (Joshi et al 2015). Heart failure of any cause, as well as genetic abnormalities of the heart along with CAD, can also cause predisposition to SCD.…”

Keyword:Sudden cardiac death, coronary artery disease, heart failure, Arrhythmias, Atrial fibrillation https://mc06.manuscriptcentral.com/cjpp-pubs AbstractSudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major public health issue due to its increasing incidence in the general population and the difficulty in identifying high-risk individuals.Nearly 300,000-350,000 patients in the United States and 4-to 5 million patients in the world die from SCD. Coronary artery disease and advanced heart failure are the main etiology for SCD. Ischemia of any cause precipitates lethal arrhythmias, and ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation are the most common lethal arrhythmias precipitating SCD. Pulse-less electrical activity, brady-arrhythmia and electromechanical dissociation also result in SCD.Most sudden cardiac deaths occur out-of-the-hospital setting, so it is difficult to estimate the public burden, which results in overestimating the incidence of SCD. The insufficiency and limited predictive value of various indicators and criteria for SCD result in the increasing incidences. As a result, there is a need to develop better risk stratification criteria and find modifiable variables to decrease the incidence. Primary and secondary prevention and treatment of SCD need further research. This critical review is focused on the etiology, risk factors, prognostic factors and importance of risk stratification of SCD.Key words: Sudden cardiac death, Coronary artery disease, Heart failure, Arrhythmias, Atrial fibrillation, Ventricular fibrillation, Channelopathies, Risk stratification, Prevention
