When a young previously healthy person dies suddenly, occasionally, the scene is noncontributory and the autopsy and drug screen are negative. In such cases, additional studies, including genetic assessment and cardiac conduction system examination, should be performed. We performed a literature search and reviewed our own material to identify possible or definite conduction system anomalies that may cause death. We identified intrinsic conduction system disease including cystic tumor of the atrioventricular node, atrioventricular node (cystic tumor of the AV node), and fibromuscular dysplasia of the atrioventricular node artery to be likely causes of death. Extrinsic causes, in which a generalized disease affects the conduction system, include tumors, autoimmune disease, infiltrative disorders, and others, are a second category of diseases that can affect the conduction system and cause atrioventricular block and sudden death.

Recently, prognosis and survival of cancer patients has improved due to progression and refinement of cancer therapies; however, cardiovascular sequelae in this population augmented and now represent the second cause of death in oncological patients. Initially, the main issue was represented by heart failure and coronary artery disease, but a growing body of evidence has now shed light on the increased arrhythmic risk of this population, atrial fibrillation being the most frequently encountered. Awareness of arrhythmic complications of cancer and its treatments may help oncologists and cardiologists to develop targeted approaches for the management of arrhythmias in this population. In this review, we provide an updated overview of the mechanisms triggering cardiac arrhythmias in cancer patients, their prevalence and management.
