Overview

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) may be caused by underlying cardiac abnormality including coronary artery abnormality , hypertrophy of myocardium, myocardial disease, valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease, abnormality in conducting system and electrical instability. The type of cardiac disease that is associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD) depends on the age of the individual [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8].
