Prevented Sudden Cardiac Death and Neurologic Recovery in Inherited Heart Diseases.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Inherited cardiovascular diseases are an important cause of sudden cardiac death (SD). The use of risk scores identify high risk patients who would benefit from an implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). The development of automated devices for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest improves early resuscitation. The objective of the study is to quantify prevented SD and the neurological recovery of patients with inherited cardiovascular diseases. Methods: Two hundred fifty-seven cases of SD (age 42 ± 18 years, 79.4% men) of non-ischemic cardiac cause were prospectively collected during the study period (2009-17). Fifty three (20.6%) had a resuscitated cardiac arrest (RCA) (age 40 ± 18 years, 64.2% male). Epidemiological, clinical and autopsy aspects were analyze
