To the Editor:

Sudden cardiac death remains a great challenge for cardiologists and health systems in the world. It is defined as a sudden unexpected death in an otherwise healthy person or patient who is not expected to die within 6 hours after the onset of symptoms or, when unwitnessed, within 24 hours after the person was last seen in good health.
There are several causes that may produce it, including left ventricle aneurysm (LV); but its most frequent presentation is when it appears secondary to ischemic heart disease, due to the widely affected myocardial zone.
