Nationwide burden of sudden cardiac death among patients with a psychiatric disorder
In this study, the rate of SCD in patients with psychiatric disorders is higher across all age groups than in the general population. Having a psychiatric disorder is independently associated with SCD. Patients with schizophrenic disease had the highest rates of SCD. Life expectancy for an 18-year old with a psychiatric disorder is estimated to be 10 years shorter in comparison with those without this disorder.
