At least 10% of SCA survivors had recurrent SCA, and a large subgroup suffered their repeat SCA despite treatment for an apparently reversible etiology. A renewed focus on careful assessment of cardiac substrate as well as management of coronary disease, hypertension, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease in SCA survivors could reduce recurrent SCA.
