Abstract
Although deaths due to coronary heart disease (CHD) have declined in the United States in the past decade, they still constitute about one third of all deaths. Further, of all CHD deaths, one third occur in persons under age 65, and about 60% occur outside the hospital. Sudden cardiac death remains one of the major problems facing medicine today.
