Objective: To analyse the clinical causes of sudden cardiac death in elderly patients during treatment, and to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of sudden cardiac death in the cardiology department of our hospital. Methods The clinical data of 60 elderly patients with sudden cardiac death in our hospital in recent years were retrospectively analysed, and the clinical causes of sudden cardiac death in elderly patients during treatment were analysed. Results: Acute myocardial infarction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, acute coronary syndrome and other diseases are the main causes of sudden cardiac death in elderly patients. In addition, hypertension, emotional agitation, and strenuous exercise Excessive smoking and drinking are also one of the factors that cause sudden cardiac death. Elderly patients often get sick at night and die within 1 hour. Conclusion: Basic heart disease, hypertension, heart failure, etc. are all factors leading to sudden cardiac death in elderly patients in cardiology. Clinical prevention of sudden cardiac death in elderly patients should be improved for acute myocardial infarction and pulmonary heart It pays attention to diseases, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and acute coronary syndrome, comprehensively evaluates the patient’s condition, and strengthens the monitoring of elderly patients.
