Abstract

Most cases of sudden unexpected death are cardiac in nature, and the majority are related to coronary artery disease. While atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is the most common cause of sudden unexpected death in the United States, nonatherosclerotic coronary artery diseases are an important cause of sudden unexpected death, especially in the young. This chapter describes causes of sudden death related to both categories of coronary artery disease.
