PROBLEMS OF PREVENTION OF SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH IN ARMED FORCES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Currently, in connection with the development of methods for genetic studies, increased attention to the problem of sudden death and its prevention. The majority of stops cardiac activity occur without prior symptoms and is almost always fatal despite resuscitation. At a young age cause of sudden cardiac death often remains unclear even after autopsy, because some diseases, such as channelopathies, or drug-arrhythmia, not associated with any structural changes of the cardiovascular system and result in death in this age group. In recent years, technological progress in the field of genetics has facilitated the study of a large number of genes, which allowed to map several key genes with the reasons for the development of sudden cardiac death, which may allow the stratification of risk in young individuals based on the genetic data (2 figs, bibliography: 38 refs).
