Abstract

Abstract: Sudden cardiac death （SCD） is one of the most common causes of death with the rapid onset and extremely dangerous conditions.The incidence of SCD in China is on the rise and the number of deaths ranks first in the world.The general practitioner，as a gatekeeper，plays an increasingly important role in the healthcare system of China.This study focuses on the responsibilities of general practitioners may have in the SCD control system from the aspects of preventing risk factors，managing first aid treatment，referral，health education and patient management.

Key words: Sudden cardiac death, General practitioners, Risk factors, Health education, Community management

摘要： 心脏性猝死是最常见的死亡原因之一，发病迅速、病情凶险。我国心脏性猝死的发病率呈上升趋势，死亡人数居世界首位。全科医生作为居民健康的“守门人”，在我国医疗卫生服务体系中承担着越来越重要的作用。本文从危险因素预防、急诊处置、转诊、健康教育以及患者管理等方面探讨全科医生在整个心脏性猝死防治体系中可能发挥的作用。
