IMPACT OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION ON SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH OCCURENCE BY THE REGISTRY GERMINA (REGISTRY OF SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH OF ECONOMICALLY ACTIVE INHABITANTS IN BRYANSK REGION)

Aim. To investigate on the role of alcohol in sudden cardiac death onset (SCD) in economically active inhabitants.

Material and methods. Totally, medical documentation was analyzed, of 1447 economically active inhabitants of Bryansk region in 2012, died due to circulatory causes: the outpatient chart, the inpatient chart, medical death certificate, forensic autopsy, common autopsy. The SCD criteria fulfilled 106 cases. With a unified questionnaire, 26 relatives were surveyed, and medical staff, of those who agreed to respond. In section of 61 corpse, alcohol concentration was measured, with the level of intoxication defined.

Results. By the data from official documents, the part of alcohol cardiomyopathy (ICD I42.6) was 7% from all death cases of suddenly died economically active inhabitants. Outpatient charts and case histories documented the fact of alcohol abuse in 36% of those who requested medical help while alive. Relatives or medical staff, contacted with the died just before the death, confirmed alcohol overconsumption in 42%. Corpse blood investigation revealed 27% specimens with alcohol, and about a half of cases the concentration was at more than moderate intoxication.

Conclusion. Alcohol plays significant role in SCD development in economically active inhabitants. Abuse with the alcohol beverages leads to development and progression of structural and functonal changes in the heart — the substrate for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Also, in many cases alcohol might be the trigger for fatal rhythm disorders.
