Abstract The incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCDs) in the western countries is 50 – 100 in a population of 100,000. The most common disease causing SCDs is coronary heart disease. A large proportion of the victims are unaware of the underlying cardiac disease or only mildly symptomatic. Many SCDs could be prevented with therapies targeted to the underlying cardiac disease and with implantable cardioverter defibrillators. However, current protocols identify only patients at highest risk and only a minority of SCDs occur in this group. Thus, markers for identifying subjects at risk for SCD are needed. The aim of this thesis was to study the roles of abnormalities in the electrocardiogram (ECG), obesity, and diabetes in SCD risk stratifica...
