title: [Sudden cardiac death related to coronary artery disease. Is the risk different for women?]
abstract: Sudden cardiac death is a major public health issue, with high incidence and disappointing survival. Therefore, prevention of sudden death and identification of high-risk patients are essential tools, especially in the field of coronary artery disease, which is the main cause of sudden death. Prevalence of coronary artery disease is higher among men, leading to a higher rate of coronary artery disease-related sudden cardiac death. The current issues are identification of gender-specificities regarding coronary artery disease, rhythmic complications and management.
