Recent epidemiology of sudden cardiac death.

We accessed the US CDC online database Wonder, which provides nationwide statistics on causes of death between the years 2018-2022. The crude mortality rate for sudden cardiac death (SCD) increased in parallel with age in both sexes, reaching the highest value in subjects aged 85 years or older. In all age groups, the crude death rate was always significantly higher in men than in women. Despite the cumulative number of officially recorded SCDs may be higher between the ages of 60 and 69 years, the risk of dying from SCD appears to increase with population age, peaking after the age of 85.
