Sudden Death

Sudden death refers to an unexpected, rapid loss of life, often occurring within minutes to hours of symptom onset in a previously healthy individual. It can result from various medical conditions, most commonly heart-related issues like arrhythmias or heart attacks. Other causes include severe brain injury, blood clots, or structural abnormalities. Because it happens unexpectedly, immediate medical intervention is critical, but even then, survival is uncertain. Understanding risk factors and maintaining regular health check-ups can help identify those at higher risk and potentially prevent such abrupt events.
