[Sudden cardiac death: toward the identification of susceptibity genes].

Abstract excerpt

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a major health problem in developed countries with a rate of incidence close to 1/1000 inhabitants/year. In most cases (>80%), SCD occurs as the initial manifestation of a previously ignored cardiac disease, usually coronary artery disease.
