Zusammenfassung

Unter plötzlichem Herztod verstehen wir den natürlichen Tod aus kardialer Ursache, der unerwartet und plötzlich eintritt. Er betrifft zumeist Patienten mit zugrundeliegender Herzerkrankung, obwohl diese zuvor weder zu Symptomen noch klinischen Zeichen einer Herzerkrankung geführt haben muß. Bezüglich der Zeitspanne zwischen Beginn der Symptome und Eintritt des Todes für die Bezeichnung „plötzlich“ werden in der Literatur bis zu 24h angegeben (s. Beitrag Janssen: „Der Sekundenherztod aus morphologischer Sicht“, S. 27). Unter Zugrundelegung eines Zeitintervalls von lh gehen vorsichtige Schätzungen davon aus, daß allein in der ehemaligen Bundesrepublik Deutschland etwa 70000 (Statistisches Jahrbuch) und in den USA 300000 Menschen jährlich den plötzlichen Herztod erleiden [19].
