Abstract
The role of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) on sudden cardiac death (SCD) has been summarized (1), with the risk of SCD decreasing by 14%-22% per 1-MET increase in CRF (1). Recently, the Mayo Clinic Proceedings has not only emphasized CRF (2–4), but also papers on resistance exercise (RE) and muscular strength (MusS) (5–7). However, there is no study about the role of muscular strength (MusS) on SCD, even though MusS was inversely and independently associated with all-cause mortality in healthy men (8). Consequently, this report investigated the role of MusS as a predictor of SCD independent of potential risk factors and explored the combined influence of MusS and CRF on the risk of SCD.
