Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) is a harrowing and unforeseen incident characterized by the abrupt cessation of the heart's normal rhythm, resulting in a sudden and unexpected stoppage of heart function. Distinguished from a heart attack by its origin in an electrical malfunction rather than a blocked blood flow to the heart, SCD can strike individuals both with and without a documented history of heart disease, adding an element of unpredictability and gravity to its occurrence. This medical emergency demands immediate action, typically involving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) when available. Identifying and addressing underlying risk factors, such as coronary artery disease or specific heart conditions, becomes crucial in mitigating the chances of SCD. Despite strides in medical knowledge, SCD remains a pressing public health issue, underscoring the necessity for heightened awareness, prompt intervention, and ongoing research efforts to deepen our understanding of the contributing factors to this tragic event.
