Sudden cardiac death and coronary disease in the young: A nationwide cohort study in Denmark

This nationwide study found several differences in the pathologic lesions of the heart in victims aged 18-35 and 36-49 years, which might be associated with different disease progression leading to death in these age groups. We also report a high frequency of cardiac symptoms prior to death in young CAD-SCD cases, which may enable clinicians to prevent these tragic deaths.
