Abstract:Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is defined as a sudden and unexpected death secondary to a cardiovascular cause. In many cases, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers can achieve recovery of the patient, which is then called resuscitated SCD. We present the case of an adolescent with resuscitated SCD, who finally died of refractory cardiogenic shock, secondary to fibromuscular dysplasia of the coronary arteries.
