Abstract

Sudden cardiac death is the most common cause of death In people over the age of 50, the most common cause is myocardial infarction due to atherosclerosis. However, it is often a mystery for people under the age of 40, and even an autopsy fails to determine it.

In these cases, genetic influences are applied to a number of cardiomyopathies. However, genetic influences outside the heart are also known, which apply to the risk of sudden cardiac arrest.

These include disorders of lipid metabolism and thrombophilic conditions in which thrombi form brown at the disorder of hemocoagulation and can cause acute heart failure. There is a case of sudden death of a woman in whom a combination of a thrombophilic disorder caused by the PAI 1 mutation was found and at the same time gene variants from the area of cannulopathies were detected by the NSG method.
