Abstract
Background: Despite the positive effects of regular physical activity, the risk of a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is transiently increased during and immediately after exercise. The total incidence of exercise-related out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) is however scarcely studied, and neither are prognosis and characteristics of these events. One of the limiting factors for previous studies has been the lack of comprehensive registries, to be able to detect the true incidence in unselected large populations. Our aim was to assess the incidence of exercise-related OHCAs in the general population of all ages and to compare characteristics and prognosis of these SCAs with non-exercise-related OHCAs.
