Sudden Cardiac Death (Sudden Cardiac Arrest) Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a sudden, unexpected death caused by loss of heart function (sudden cardiac arrest). Sudden cardiac death is the largest cause of natural death in the United States, causing about 325,000 adult deaths in the United States each year.Sudden cardiac death is responsible for half of all heart disease deaths.Sudden cardiac death occurs most frequently in adults in their mid-30s to mid-40s, and affects men twice as often as it does women. This condition is rare in children, affecting only 1 to 2 per 100,000 children each year.udden cardiac death (SCD) is a sudden, unexpected death caused by loss of heart function (sudden cardiac arrest).

Cardiomyopathy Restrictive cardiomyopathy occurs when the heart muscle becomes stiff and loses its ability to relax between contractions, impairing the heart's ability to fill with blood. It frequently causes heart block, the inability of the heart to successfully transmit the electrical signals needed to generate a heart beat.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest: Why It Happens The immediate cause of most sudden cardiac arrests is an abnormal heart rhythm. The heart’s electrical activity becomes chaotic, and it can’t pump blood to the rest of the body. Conditions that can trigger sudden cardiac arrest include: Coronary artery disease . This is the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest in people older than 35. Cardiomyopathy . When you have this condition, your heart muscle becomes enlarged or thick, so it's weakened.

Heart Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common form of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. It occurs more frequently in men than in women, and is most common between the ages of 20 and 60 years. About one in three cases of congestive heart failure (CHF) is due to dilated cardiomyopathy.CM is one of the cardiomyopathies, a group of diseases that affect primarily the myocardium (the muscle of the heart). Different cardiomyopathies have different causes and affect the heart in different ways.

Sudden death in young people: Heart problems often blamed Young people with long QT syndrome have an increased risk of sudden death. Other causes of sudden cardiac death in young people include structural abnormalities of the heart, such as undetected heart disease that was present at birth (congenital) and heart muscle abnormalities. Other causes include inflammation of the heart muscle, which can be caused by viruses and other illnesses.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy affects young and old Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common genetic heart condition, but it’s not widely understood. If you do the math, there are around 14,000 people in the Dallas-Fort Worth area who potentially have an enlarged heart muscle – called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) – a potentially deadly condition.

Overview Coronary artery disease. Most cases of sudden cardiac arrest occur in people who have coronary artery disease. In coronary artery disease, your arteries become clogged with cholesterol and other deposits, reducing blood flow to your heart. This can make it harder for your heart to conduct electrical impulses smoothly.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy HCM is a common cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in young people, including young athletes. HCM occurs if heart muscle cells enlarge and cause the walls of the ventricles (usually the left ventricle) to thicken. Despite this thickening, the ventricle size often remains normal.However, the thickening may block blood flow out of the ventricle.CM is a common cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in young people, including young athletes.

Sudden Cardiac Death Underlying heart diseases were ischemic cardiomyopathy in 2 patients, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia in 1 patient, and sudden cardiac death in 1 patient. Heart failure may be a consequence of either nonischemic or ischemic cardiomyopathy. For ICDs, the guidelines suggest implantation for class II or III patients who have an ejection fraction of less than 30%; patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy should be at least 40 days post MI.

Cardiac arrest Left ventricular hypertrophy is thought to be the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in the adult population. This is most commonly the result of longstanding high blood pressure which has caused secondary damage to the wall of the main pumping chamber of the heart, the left ventricle.
