Many people with acute myocardial infarction die from sudden cardiac arrest before reaching the hospital. The current clinical understanding of the mechanisms and risk factors surrounding sudden cardiac death is limited. However, 2 factors related to sudden death, namely the occluded coronary vessel (right coronary, left circumflex, or left anterior descending artery) and the extent of collateral circulation, are of potential relevance. Recent data suggest that the risk differs between the different coronary arteries and that coronary collateral circulation seems to have an important protective 'antiarrhythmic' effect. This editorial will address possible mechanisms and potential implications in clinical practice.
