摘要: Myocardial diseases (MDs) include an infrequently occurring heterogeneous group of potentially lethal abnormalities in children and young adults. Recent epidemiological studies have shown that dilated hypertrophic cardiomyopathies are the most frequent morphological substrata cardiomyopathy [1, 2]. Furthermore, MDs been associated with unexpected sudden death (SD) apparently healthy people < 35 years old [3]–[9]. Acute myocarditis leading causes SD this age group. In addition, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia has recognized as a relatively cause southern European countries [4, 9, 10]. some cases, is first manifestation disease, although sometimes child or adult had symptom during their lifetime [11, 12]. The actual incidence distribution cardiac by sex well-defined populations poorly characterized, only few observational assessed problem Most done selected samples reference centers, consequent bias making it impossible to provide data. A population-based retrospective study was carried out adults Italian province Campania between 1998 2005 aims assessing clinical data on MD mortality determining non-sudden (NSD).
