Declining Trend of Sudden Cardiac Death in Younger Individuals: A 20-Year Nationwide Study
SCD incidence rates in young individuals declined by 49% over the past 2 decades. The decline was paralleled by improved survival of OHCA, higher diagnostic rates of inherited cardiac diseases, and higher ICD implantation rates. However, rates of unwitnessed SCD were unchanged, which calls for new perspectives in preventive strategies.
