Abstract

OCHOA MONTES, Luis; ARAUJO GONZALEZ, Rafael  and  FERRER MARRERO, Daisy. Cardiovascular sudden death and its progression between cross-disciplinarity and cross-sectorial approach. Medisur [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.5, pp. 631-639. ISSN 1727-897X.

Due to its high incidence, the dramatics which accompanies its presentation and because it is an important cause of potentially lost years of life, sudden death represents a challenge at present. The complexity of its physio-pathologic elements, and the diversity of the population groups in which it takes place demand a cross-discipline study. It is necessary to abandon positions and trends which center cardiovascular sudden death in a single medical specialty, mainly with regards to its causes, since it is an entity which requires an integrated vision from the different specialties and levels of attention.

Keywords : Death, sudden, cardiac; interdisciplinary communication; intersectoral collaboration.
