Abstract
Sudden cardiac death defined as natural death from cardiac
causes occurring within one hour of the onset of acute symptoms
is one of the most significant non-injury causes of death in the
adult population of industrialised countries. The understanding of
the mechanisms leading to sudden cardiac death is so far limited.
Recently, a number of experimental animal models with high
incidence of sudden cardiac death were developed and are
intensively studied to get new insights into the sudden cardiac
death mechanisms. In this review the animal models of sudden
cardiac death are summarized and their principal properties
shortly described.
