Neutrons and sudden cardiac death (SCD) codes 121-125 ICD 10.

Recent studies have shown that (1) monthly neutron activity (NA) (imp/min) correlates with monthly number of acute myocardial infarction (AMI); (2) NA is higher on days of automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (AICD) discharges for VT, VF. Here we checked the level of NA in relation to timing and type of sudden cardiac death (SCD) patients [n=848 (579, 68.28% male)] obtained from the Kaunas registry for the years 2002-2004.

Prevalence of risk factors and risk of mortality in relation to occupational group.
