ReviewSudden cardiac death related to physical exercise in the young: a nationwide cohort study of Australia.
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) during physical exercise is devastating. ⋯ The present study demonstrates the high occurrence of CAD and SADS in SCD in the young related to physical exercise. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders were disproportionately affected by CAD. Although events were commonly witnessed, AED was seldom used prior to ambulance arrival and highlights an important opportunity to improve outcomes in the post-arrest chain of survival.

Comment ReviewA scoping review of patient-led teaching of health professions students.
Patients with chronic health conditions may become experts in their own conditions. Thus, utilising patients as teachers, with autonomy over taught content, may better prepare students to deliver patient-centred care. ⋯ Patient teacher programmes range from single, short 1- to 2-h tutorials to longitudinal community-based programmes. These programmes are mutually beneficial for students, improving awareness of all patient-centred domains, and patients feel empowered by their roles in education.
