With the regional law n. 26 of December 30, 2020, the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region wanted to promote the establishment of the Regional Register of Sudden Cardiac Death, with the aim of favoring the study of all those deaths that occurred suddenly and unexpectedly under the age of 50 years in which it is not possible to trace the cause of death with certainty. Such dramatic events, difficult to quantify considering the complexity of data collection, are often accepted with resignation without any further investigation of the possible causes. The Regional Register of Sudden Cardiac Deaths of Friuli Venezia Giulia was born from this premise and from the awareness of the importance of going back with a rigorous scientific methodology and through a multidisciplinary approach, to the diagnosis of hereditary heart diseases which, when determined, allow the enrollment of relatives in a cardiological screening process and, therefore, primary prevention of potentially fatal events. The authors describe the operating procedures feeding the Regional Register and present the results of the first year of activity on 26 cases.
