Abstract
Potentially lethal cardiac disease may manifest itself first by the terminal collapse. The preceding natural history of illnesses belonging to the nosological category thus identified is distinguished by the absence of symptoms and by unimpaired physical fitness. The four cases described each represent a diagnostic entity of the kind under reference.
