Abstract: The definition of sudden death had to be explained in many other chapters of this book.So I will not go into more details regarding it.The sudden death in the absence of structural heart disease is uncommon, but when it appears, has a very significant clinical impact because many of the victims are young.In relatively recent form it has given special attention to particular conditions expressed in repolarization electrocardiographies on the QT interval, whose relationship with the functionality of some ion channels in the membrane cell has prompted its designation as "channelopathies".But the QT-interval alteration is not unique.
