The sudden cardiac death represents an epidemiological problem of great social impact with an estimated incidence of 4000 cases/year, in apparently healthy individuals (16-60 years of age) in Spain.
This type of death is usually judicialized, given the unexpectedness of its occurrence and the absence of any background that justifies it and, therefore, the medical-legal autopsy has to be carried out, a situation that is desirable as recommended by the European regulations (Council of Ministers of the Member States of the European Union, Recommendation No. 99 on methodological harmonization of medical-legal autopsies).
