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.

Risk Factors

Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Young Athletes:

Generally, athletes are considered healthier than young adults in the general population. In studies of children and young adults, incidence of sudden death in athletes was reported to be low at approximately 1 per 100000 person-years.[3],[4] However in a prospective study of 11168 adolescent soccer players (mean age, 16.4 years, 95% male) in the English Football Association cardiac screening program from 1996 through 2016, the incidence of sudden death was 6.8 per 100000 person-years.[5] Most common cause of cardiac arrests in young athletes are:

  1. Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome
  2. Coronary anomalies
  3. Myocarditis
  4. Valvular disease.[3],[6]

A meta-analysis evaluating sudden cardiac death etiology in individuals younger than 35 years from 2010 through 2020 demonstrated that the following cardiac conditions were more common among athletes than nonathletes: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(11.9%vs3.9%;P = .002),dilated cardiomyopathy (3.6% vs 0.8%; P = .047), and anomalous coronary arteries (7.2% vs 1.9%; P = .009).[7]
