Overview

Common risk factors related to underlying coronary artery disease (CAD) and inherited causes in the development of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) are hypertension, male gender ,diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, obesity, smoking, older age, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to hypoxia, early ventricular fibrillation (VF) (within 48 hours of ACS increasing in-hospital mortality five times), early repolarization patten in early phase of myocardial infarction (MI), and family history of sudden death.
