Aims: The aim of this study was to examine differences in incidence rates of all-cause mortality (ACM) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in persons of differing socioeconomic position (SEP).
Methods: All deaths in Denmark from 01-01-2010 to 31-12-2010 (1 year) were included. Autopsy reports, death certificates, discharge summaries and nationwide health registries were reviewed to identify cases of SCD.

Up to 70% of all sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) in persons under 50 years are due to inherited cardiovascular diseases. First-degree relatives to younger SCD patients should be evaluated for inherited cardiovascular disease, as argued in this review. An improved understanding of SCD subtypes and genetics is expected to improve risk stratification and SCD prevention.

Epidemiological studies of sex differences in SCD cases of all ages are sparse. The aim of this study was to examine differences in incidence rates, clinical characteristics, comorbidities and autopsy findings between male and female SCD cases.

- Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) is a major cause of mortality in young people and understanding the signs that precede it is vital for prevention.
- This review focuses on identifying symptoms and healthcare interactions before SCD occurs in individuals aged 1-49, highlighting differences in symptoms based on the cause of death and age.
- Many victims experienced both cardiac and vague symptoms before dying and sought medical help, yet few were diagnosed with serious heart conditions, suggesting the need for better risk assessment and non-invasive prediction methods for young people with potential cardiac signs.
