- Abstract
Sudden cardiac death, mostly related to ventricular arrhythmia, is a major public health issue, with still very poor survival at hospital discharge. Although coronary artery disease remains the leading cause, other etiologies should be systematically investigated. Exhaustive and standardized exploration is required to eventually offer specific therapeutics and management to the patient as well as his/her family members in case of inherited cardiac disease. Identification and establishing direct causality of the detected cardiac anomaly may remain challenging, underlying the need for a multidisciplinary and experimented team., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS.
