SCD (Sudden Cardiac Death)

Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) refers to an unexpected and swift death due to heart-related issues, often occurring within an hour of symptoms arising. It typically results from heart rhythm problems, like arrhythmias, or underlying conditions such as coronary artery disease. While it can happen to anyone, certain risk factors—like a family history of heart problems, high blood pressure, or previous heart issues—can increase chances. SCD is often witnessed in seemingly healthy individuals during physical activity or rest, making it a critical health concern that highlights the importance of heart health awareness and preventive measures.
