title: [The physiopathological aspects of sudden cardiac death].
abstract: In this paper we have tried to clarify the pathophysiological aspects of sudden cardiac death. On a clinical basis, beside the arrhythmias and the coronaropathies, the other functional and/or organic alterations such as myocardiopathies, congenital malformations, myocarditis, primitive or secondary neoplasms and neurophysiological alterations are described as cause of sudden cardiac death.
