Out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest and COVID-19 pandemic

Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved..

Since the appearance of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the direct mortality related to COVID-19 infections has been monitored worldwide, with a daily count of the number of deaths due to COVID-19. Several measures have been undertaken in the societal and professional field, and the healthcare systems have been reorganized to limit the virus spread, and to cope with the surge of hospital admissions for COVID-19. Questions have been raised regarding the indirect effect of the pandemic, with uncertainties regarding the impact of delays in non-COVID diseases management, due to lockdown, postponement of non-urgent medical consultations and interventions, and decrease in screening. Sudden cardiac death could have been impacted by all those changes, and is generally a good surrogate of public health. In the current article, we review the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the epidemiology and outcome of sudden cardiac death.
