Abstract:
Unexplained cardiac arrest (UCA) is a working diagnosis that should be replaced by a final diagnosis once evaluation is completed. Complete evaluation of UCA should include high-yield tests like cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, exercise treadmill test, and sodium-channel blocker challenge to identify latent causes of UCA. If no clear etiology is revealed after complete evaluation, idiopathic ventricular fibrillation may be diagnosed, and the strength of its diagnosis can be divided into definitive, probable, and possible based on the number of high-yield tests performed. Care should be provided by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in this area.
