In the United States, 50-60 individuals suffer a cardiac arrest
each hour, amounting to approximately 250,000 deaths every year. In
the first five minutes of a cardiac arrest, ventricular tachycardia
(VT) and ventricular fibrillation are the most frequent cardiac
arrhythmias encountered. Despite emergency medical response
systems, the long-term survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
remains poor in most US cities. Paramount to achieving successful
resuscitation of a cardiac arrest victim is providing early
defibrillation. This issue of Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics
covers a full spectrum of issues related to sudden cardiac death,
including the epidemiology of sudden cardiac death, advances in
CPR, the implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD), and VT ablation.
