Abstrakt		Introduction Sudden cardiac death is one of the most serious problems of modem emergency medicine. It is an important issue because of a large number of sudden cardiac death victims as well as social and economic consequences it causes to a population. Sudden cardiac death is a result of a one in adult population. A sudden cardiac death can be brought about by any organic or functional heart disease without any specific anatomical changes predicting the persons at risk. A lot of risk factors for sudden cardiac death have been known but precise mechanisms and interactions between them leading to a sudden cardiac death at a specific point of time have not been known. Risk factors can be divided on one hand into those provided by biological mechanisms and inheritance, and on the other hand those arising from specific disease conditions and third diseases and states which represent by themselves an enlarged risk for sudden cardiac death. Resent researches have shown that there are some personal activities which could function as triggering factors for acute cardiac events. In a research with case crossover design it was presumed that short time action of potential triggering risk factors as coffee or wine consumption, cigarette smoking, physical activity, excitement or anger, could trigger sudden cardiac death in a short time interval after ingestion or performance. The relative risk for sudden cardiac death was presumed to be higher by simultaneous influence of long lasting risk factors which were at the same time also risk factors for ischemic heart disease.
