Sudden Cardiac Death Syndrome

Sudden Cardiac Death Syndrome (SCDS) refers to unexpected cardiac arrest, often occurring in individuals without apparent heart disease. It can result from various factors, including genetic conditions, electrical abnormalities in the heart, or underlying heart muscle issues. Symptoms might include fainting or chest pain, but often, there are no warning signs. SCDS is more common in young athletes but can affect anyone. Immediate medical intervention, like CPR or defibrillation, is crucial for survival. Awareness and understanding of this condition can help in prevention and prompt response during emergencies.
