dc.description.abstract | Background: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a life-threatening disease that can be remedied by prompt defibrillation. However, data regarding such risk in a general population remain limited. This general population study was to explore the epidemiological profile of VF. Methods and Results: We investigated patients with VF younger than 60 years (average population, 19,725,031) using a national database spanning the period 2000–2010. We identified 3,971 (68.4% male) patients with VF (crude incidence rate: 1.83/100,000). Incidence rates were low in patients younger than 10 years and increased steadily after adolescence. Comorbidities were noted in 2,766 (69.7%) patients, with 2,431 (61%) having cardiac diseases. Over half of the adolescent and young adult patients did not have comorbidities. Among the 838 deaths (mortality rate 21.1%), approximately half (381/838, 45.5%) occurred after arrival at emergency services (ES). The proportion of deaths after arrival at ES relative to total deaths increased sharply to a peak in the 15–19-years age group and thereafter remained stationary. Conclusions: VF patients, with a male dominance, increased after adolescence and were likely to die at presentation to ES. Approximately half of young adults, with high mortality, did not have comorbidities, suggesting underdi-agnosis of underlying primary electrical diseases and the need for implementing automated external defibrillator programs. ? 2016, Japanese Circulation Society.
