Abstract
Sudden cardiac death is a major as yet unsolved public health problem. Prevention of sudden cardiac death is subdivided into two main categories, on the one hand primary prevention (prevention of a first event of sudden cardiac death) and on the other hand secondary prevention (prevention of reoccurring events in survivors of cardiac arrest). This review article summarizes the current state of knowledge on primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death in various clinical settings.Entities:
