Abstract

This article reviews the epidemiology of sudden cardiac death, and outlines suggested management of patients who are successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest. Emphasis is placed on the favorable impact of newer means of therapy on the very high recurrence rate using empiric antiarrhythmic treatment.
