Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome

Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS) is a condition where a person can experience a sudden and unexpected death because of the way their heart beats. The heart might beat too fast or too slow and it can't do its job correctly. This can cause the heart to stop working, which can lead to death. The cause of SADS is usually unknown, but it can sometimes be caused by genetic factors. Keeping up with regular check-ups and making sure people get proper medical treatment for heart conditions can help reduce the risk of SADS or other heart problems.
