Those include an elderly age, underlying heart disease (particularly MIs), the presence of HF, renal and hepatic dysfunction, electrolyte abnormalities, bradycardias, and various drugs such as diuretics, antiarrhythmic agents, and sedative agents that facilitate QT prolongation and hypokalemia (Table 4...
In the investigation of sudden death in adults, channelopathies, such as long QT syndrome, have risen to the fore in the minds of forensic pathologists in recent years. Examples of these disorders are touched upon in this review as an absence of abnormal findings at postmortem examination is ...

In some populations, the presence of NSVT has been effectively used to select high-risk patients for application of therapy to prevent sudden arrhythmic death. This may also have limited sensitivity. Long-term HRV Low HRV is a risk factor for mortality, but likely is not specific for SCD. ...
In the initial survey, participants self-reported information on age, sex, ethnic background, blood pressure, blood lipids, physical activity, Townsend Deprivation Index (TDI), chronic medical conditions, medication use and smoking and drinking habits. The TDI, which serves as an indicator of socio...
30 Therefore, to reduce the incidence of sudden cardiac death, we must either accurately identify those at risk or develop safe, low-cost interventions that can be applied to the population at large. If the observed associations between dietary habits such as nut and fish consumption are causal...
