Abstract

Sudden cardiac death is an unexpected death originating from the heart that occurs within an hour of the onset of symptoms. The main cause of sudden cardiac death is arrhythmia; however, diagnosing underlying structural heart disease significantly contributes to predicting the long-term risk. Cardiovascular CT and MR provide important information for diagnosing and evaluating structural heart disease, enabling the prediction and preparation of the risk of sudden cardiac death. Therefore, we would like to focus on the various structural heart diseases that increase the risk of clinically-important sudden cardiac death and the importance of imaging findings.

급성 심장사는 증상이 시작된 후 한 시간 이내에 발생하는 심장 원인으로 인한 사망이다. 급성 심장사의 원인은 주로 부정맥이지만 동반할 수 있는 기저 심질환들을 사전에 진단하는 것은 장기적 위험을 예측하는 데 중요하다. 심장 CT와 심장 MR은 구조적 심질환을 진단하고 평가하는데 중요한 정보를 제공하여 급성 심장사의 위험을 예측하고 대비할 수 있게 한다. 따라서 임상적으로 중요한 급성 심장사의 위험을 증가시키는 다양한 원인과 영상 소견의 중요성에 대하여 중점적으로 살펴보고자 한다.
